fingermark

Oily skin trace

A fingermark is a smudge or print left by a finger on a surface, typically visible on glass, polished wood, or other smooth materials: The mirror was covered in fingermarks.

Unlike fingerprint, which often implies the detailed ridge pattern used for identification, fingermark suggests an unwanted smudge that needs cleaning.
