If you are hosting a party or even a small gathering of family and friends and are using your new ice bucket, there is a high likelihood that some people will end up with their fingerprints on it. The question is, though, will these fingerprints end up showing up afterward. Ironically, this is probably one of the biggest complaints out there when it comes to stainless steel. It is a masterful material but one of its biggest flaws is that it will show scratches and yes, fingerprints. One of the best ways to avoid this is to treat the steel afterward. Much like with polishing it, you should use a wax-based spray to clean those pesky fingerprints.
