If its only finger prints on your car, you can get some detailing spray. It is made for if you're at a car show and you have already waxed your car and people get finger prints on it, you just spray it on and wipe off the finger prints without stripping the wax. (use a microfiber rag with it)

But if you want to get fingerprints off, get a good carwash soap, a pretty strong one, and wash your car up real nice (in every little crack and underneath bumpers, door jams, etc..) and dry it off good. (including door jams). Then put a nice coat of Meguiars NXT wax on it. I have seen it advertised really heavily at a bunch of car shows and I just bought a bottle. It works awesome. Its a synthetic polymer wax. It gives your car a nice darker shine if your car got bleached out a little in the sun. My lightning yellow looks better than the day I bought it now. It has a glassy lemon popsicle look to it.. lol. And I can throw a towel on my hood and it will slide right off its so slippery. It gave the carbon fiber on my wing a darker look to it too.

Yes, use the ScratchX before the wax, then whichever wax you use. I do not know the steps to the Zaino wax.

Claybar is part of the Zaino system. Go to thier website and read up, its really whatever you want to do. I usually start by washing my car with dishwashing soap to remove all the old wax, then claybar, then wash it again with the Zaino car wash, then I wipe it down with very diluted rubbing alcohol to be sure everything is off. Now its time to start waxing. I usually do one coat of the swirl remover, followed by 2-3 coats of the polish. I leave each coat on for 45 minutes to an hour, and use the gloss enhancer between each coat. Its very time consuming but 100% worth it when you see the results.

Don't wax your hood. I had a cat try to jump on my car. Just slide across it with his claws out. scratched it all the way down.

ok you really should wax your hood, just watch out for the neighborhood cats.
