iPhone 15 Pro Best way to clean titanium

I just use Stoners Invisible Glass sprayed onto a microfiber cloth meant for glass. But I use a leather case so I'm not wiping the body of the phone as often. Just the actual glass. but I do wipe the body once in a while removing the case. And I've yet to see Invisible Glass harm any surface I've wiped with it.
 
Just wipe it with the same cloth that you would with the screen. Needs a bit of pressure though. If it’s really dirty a bit of water as well and again pressure.

You must have different usage because my 15 PM shows no need for fingerprint removal. Or maybe you just look really closely to seek out fingerprints. YMMV.

If I do get a noticeable mark it is usually jelly or something like that and comes off quickly with a damp napkin.

Edit: AS I think about it, using the phone with no case means it gets wiped by the inside of my pocket constantly. Perhaps that is why I notice no exterior cleanliness issues.
 
Is „Woosh“ a good choice. Because on Amazon I read some people mentioned damage screen whatever? Is that true?
 
It's not bare titanium (unfortunately). Even the ones people think are -- the "natural titanium" -- are coated. And the color of the coating is different than the color of the titanium frame around the white iPhone 15 Pro too.

Don't know why they decided to coat it instead of just going with actual Ti.

It’s still important for you to clean your phone even if it’s in a case. If you don’t the lint will scrape and scratch the phone causing very unsightly pockmarks. I clean my iPhone once each month and it looks as good as the day I got it. Even the speaker grills need cleaned otherwise they end up getting clogged with gunk.

isopropyl alcohol 70% does the job fairly well. but i do have a bottle of cap cod clean link laying around which i use it on the brushed Ti the result were great it sort of refresh the look of the brush TI and clean off any stubborn stains.
 
I got white titanium to avoid too many fingerprints. At least the back is matte, unlike my iPhone 12 mini.

Much has already been said about the fingerprint magnet of the titanium finish, but I would like to discuss how to actually clean it. With the previous stainless steel pros, all that was needed was a cloth dampened with water and fingerprints would wipe right off. However titanium seems to be very resistant to simple cleaning.

Things I've tried so far:
  1. Dry microfiber cloth: doesn't seem to have any cleaning effect
  2. Cloth dampened with water: pretty much the same as a dry cloth (no effect)
  3. Cloth dampened with electronics screen cleaner: very little effect
  4. Cloth dampened with Expo whiteboard cleaner: effectively removes fingerprints, but leaves streaks that need fairly high pressure rubbing to remove.
  5. Isopropyl alcohol q-tip swab, rubbed with cloth after: removes fingerprints, but still needs high pressure rubbing to fully remove
What have you tried and what has worked for you to remove fingerprints from titanium?

Effectively remove streaks and fingerprints from titanium and glass the most common paper napkin or paper handkerchief, slightly moistened with water. A little moistened wipe, then dry polished and everything is shiny. Or use latex gloves :)
 
I just use a microfiber cloth to wipe the entire phone and it works fine for me. The titanium finish is definitely easier to remove finger prints than SS.
