It varies with people's ! I have cleaned the lens grip brushing lightly and carefully with sweet almond oil!! It looks like new after.

It won't show up cell phone snap.I came across an old old posting someone with the same issue on a nikon D700 only a couple weeks old that turned white and someone mentioned 303 protectant or Vinylex supposedly works excellent on restoring cleaning and UV protection.

Armor-All can be a bit slippery -- especially when freshly applied -- so be careful!

Two bodies, almost all the shooting outdoors, dirty hands, wet. One was the first batch when the K3 was released. Still black. Probably from being dirty...
