Verbatim DVD-R have never had this issue. And best of all, these are some of the best blanks you can buy. Yes, better than MXL or TY! (Although only slightly.)
Only buy Verbatim MCC AZO branded (non-Life Series, non-Value Series) discs from
Amazon, Supermediastore or Meritline. Those stores also have the best prices on blanks, which is good.

Just get a 100-pack of DVD-R or DVD+R, even if you don't use a lot of discs. Go ahead and stock up while the "good discs" are still available for such a low cost, from such an easy-to-find location.
The 8x MXL you have now is probably that slick brown surface. It has a gloss layer on it that can also adhere fingerprints. It got worse after the brand switched to 100% Ritek use.
The yellow 4x MXL/TY discs did not have the high gloss finish.
The blue-green 2x surface for MXL/RITEK discs was a pearled semi-gloss that would vary at times. Sometimes fingerprints would stick, but usually not.
