There must be some major differences ( maybe quality control problem ) between cars. Mines an 04 with 95 k miles and the interiors like new, looks like its good for another 95k !

my 05 BMW which has 34,000 miles that I bought CPO'd in March has had to have the following plastic pieces replaced under warranty due to peeling:
If you want permanent finger prints on your exterior paintwork give you children a tube of handcream to play with!
It took damage to the car my wife used to have (a 328iSE) before we discovered what it was.
I have a big plastic bin at home that has a permanent handprint on it from when one of my boys was 2 years old so as a result I make a conscious effort not let any of my family touch my car if they have put handcream on!
You have been warned!
Regards,

It is caused by hand cream and it doesn't just affect interiors.

It is not caused by Jewelry or long finger nails. I have neither.
