Is my macbook the only one made out of space age cleaning resistant material? i have a question for the masses. i have one of the earlier macbooks. and over the past year since ive had it, its gotten a little dirty in the plaves where my hands and wrists rest during use. a slight browning of thw white plastic on the right and left lower corners next to the track pad. but no matter how clean my hands are or whatever cleaning solution i use, i cant seem to clean that slight brown stain. ive tried many cleaners, even rubbing alcolhol, everything short of bleach. does anyone know if there is anything out there that will clean that plastic? it boggles the mind



thank you



Reuben

    Apparently non-acetone nail polish remover works wonders.

    Also a good quality pencil eraser. And lots of rubbing.

    iKlear has always worked well on my white Macbook plastic and screen. But I use it frequently so mine might not be as gunked up as yours.
