Matt Black Wrap Protection?

I got my Z4 wrapped in Matt Black ( i know how creative huh )
Anyway, I'm quite happy with the wrap when it comes straight out of the car wash but every little finger print or dirt stands out like i have never seen it on any other 'paint job' before. Is that normal on matt black wrap or is there anyway to protect the wrap with an additional film. The wrap thats used on the car is 3M oracle. Hope that helps.
Never really noticed the finger print and dirt issue until my local car guy took some pics of it when finishing my car-hifi installation. Pics are attached to the post - hope theres a solution. Thanks in advance

You can clearly see the finger prints on the hood here..


As well as the finger prints on the trunk..

Just wipe it down with some 50/50 isopropyl alcohol and water and stop touching it.

Care instructions from 3M here: http://multimedia.3m.com/mws/mediawe...666TtlCOrrrrQ-

I am just curious
Will finger prints and smudgy marks display so much if you actually spray paint the car matt Black by a professional?

Or only the wrap that display so much marks?

Just follow 3m instruction on cleaning and maintaining, or follow some of the suggested ideas above. Matte film shows fingerprints just as much as gloss paint Imo. Just gotta clean it regularly. And please remove the fake m badge, fake hre center caps and the Brembo covers. No need to imitate.
