Well, if you choke alot I don't know if there is much you can do, and in general not much you can do. Maybe there is a technique to do it without choking it, or maybe you could just polish it to make it look shiny every once and a while
My ZBT crash is covered in dark fingerprints and I don't want my new AAX X-Plosion crash (just came in the mail today! ) to be next. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening?
Inb4* don't touch it.

Nah, I don't want to polish it more than I have to. I know the polish only takes off a microscopic layer of metal, but it starts to get to me after a while. I'm weird like that lol. I was once thinking about drumming gloves because I kept loosing my grip. That would probably do the job here to, eh?

Yeah, for fingerprints, drumming gloves if you choke the cymbals, and during set up, though stick wear and tear may mean you will want to shine them up eventually.

Huh, they're cheaper than I thought. Found a Meinl pair with fingers on it, probably gonna get those at some point.

If you want to try something other than gloves, Paiste makes a cymbal protectant that works well. I use Bosphorus cymbal swipes to clean my cymbals and then go back over them with the Paiste cymbal protector. I've cut my cleaning frequency way down using the protectant. All I do in between cleanings is just wipe the prints off with a cloth.
