What do you call the fingerprints on the back of a dirty car?

Hi Everyone, I need some help trying to find a name for the fingerprints that you find on the back of dirty cars. See image below.

These prints are usually made when people close the trunk lid on solid color trunks. Is there a common term for this among people who detail cars? I see a lot more of these prints during the winter when everyone is hesitant to wash their car. Without the prints, the car looks semi clean. The prints show just how dirty the car actually is.

I am writing a blog article and I was wondering if this is old news and I just didn't know the standard name.

Thanks
