hey, just wondering, how do you guys remove stains from aluminium?? cause i found finger prints all over my case...

Autosol if you're up to the task.

Otherwise, if the stains aren't too old, some Goof Off or washing detergent might work.

hmm....how bout if its like a week old?? still can use washing detergent?? how do i clean off the detergent later? any detergent will do? soap powder works ar?


autosol, where to get it?

try washing detergent (for plates). use soft cloth or soft sponge only.
autosol can be bought from hardware shop. eneos 1U has a wider range of autosol.
but i used metalsol (pirated autosol?) once and it turned black. have to continiously scrub the area for the black stuff to disapear. thr outcome was a smoother polished alu but darker. i did it on a piece of alumimium at workplace, not casing.

Wow! Danger! Dont use Autosol on anodized aluminum man. Autosol is highly abrasive n will rub off the anodised layer. Autosol is meant for bare metals only.

I saw a proper Aluminum cleaning solution selling at Tesco. It comes in a bottle. Cheap too. Y not buy that n try on a small corner on the inside of the panel to make sure it's not corrosive. Shud b good though coz the instructions sed it's for cleaning aluminum door n window frames n those r anodized aluminum so it shud work nicely on aluminum PC cases.

but the question when you guys say new stains, how long is considered new? that is wat i wanna know...

my Razer Exactmat has already warped already.
the black surface already sunken a bit at the middle just after 6 months.
so becareful if you want to polish aluminium, it might warp.

warp?? wat do you mean??

how about use WD40???
hehehe ..

exactmats actualy surface is not alu, but the base is alu.

Whahahaha. U too excited while sniping kar? Or ure AWP too heavy?



His mse pad went for a ride on Starship Enterprise n went tru warp speed.

Warp=bent.

use sand paper?????
