Everyone that gets in my car immediately reaches up and puts their greasy hands all over the panoramic roof. I have never had to clean the ceiling in my car before but have had to do it almost every day since I took delivery.

Any tips short of not letting those people in my car again?

With a glass roof it's really about preventative measures.

You'll want to get a spray bottle where you can adjust from mist to stream. Most people use these on the mist setting, but that's not going to work here; you want to set it to stream. And you want straight water, no vinegar and no cleaning solution. You'll want to keep it in your center cupholder. Anytime you see someone start to reach up to touch the glass roof, just give them a quick shot of water to the face.

This should prevent anymore fingerprints from appearing in the future.

Maybe another bottle with a touch of Tabasco sauce in it for those stubborn individuals

And I was going to suggest stopping any late-night activities but your idea would resolve both!

Get a supply of latex gloves, keep a dispenser in the car.

Bitch slap your riders to keep their hands to themselves. Start by every time you see them reach out and touch their face. If they wear glasses or sunglasses even better and just smear your fingers on their lenses. When they complain tell them that is exactly how you feel about them putting their grubby little hands on your glass roof.

You may lose friends this way but they won't be dirtying up your roof any longer :)

I don't see anything wrong with this. They just admiring your car that ooh wow factor looking up seeing clear sky night or day. Whatever dirt can be cleaned. Inebriated it's all good just don't scratch anything.
