Default Door lubrication at 1600km inspection

I just took the rx for it's 1600km inspection and noticed they lubricated the door hinges. The problem is there's a lot of over spray. Did you guys clean this all up and if so how much did you take off. I didn't bother for my other cars as they are lighter in color but it looks so unattractive and sloppy against the obsidian.

I'll probably end up wiping it off but leaving the actual hinges lubricated.

Maybe, due to the weather conditions up there or the preparation of the upcoming winter, the dealer used to spay a lot!?

i would wipe the over spray for sure. problem is that over time the lubricant will attract dirt, and you will have a hell of a time to clean that off.
