Same here.
Though sometimes its impossible not to touch the model directly, or keep little grand anklebiter fingers from poking at them, but I try to grab them from the bottom. Unless its a prominent finger print, usuall I'll just leave it(natural weathering?), then its just a damp face cloth.
If you're having trouble with paint still sticky months after you've painted them, then it would be a good idea to check the mix, or change to a different brand of paint. Also leaving the model under a lamp(not a heat lamp...unless its brass) might help in the drying process.
