Default Header just installed! What to do about prints before I turn the key?

Ok I am about to start my car, I just installed my new comptech ss header. I used latex gloves while installing it, but at the end they ripped and some prints got on the header. How should I remove these so that they don't discolor the header? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

You could use some rubbing alcohol on it; it should do the trick! Hope u enjoy the header

if its SS it will turn a purplish color once its heated up. But yeah for fingerprints rubbing alcohol will do just fine
