Well, you might want to have 2 cloth when cleaning. 1 cloth wet to clean the screen, another 1 dry to wipe off. Wiping off prevents the water stains/streaking.

As for the dust issues, wiping tends to cause static and that causes dust to "stick" on the screen. You could use cleaning solutions such as iKlear or one of Radtech's solutions to prevent static but do keep in mind that you'll still need to clean from time to time. I personally wouldn't bother with the solutions, water seems to work fine, just that you might need to clean often.

i guess the screen protector surface doesnt work well with iklear.. i cant figure out any other reason why it doesnt work for you.

use iklear, working great..

I have a Macbook Pro 13 and its screen is very hard to 'clean'. I have all those solutions that works great but there's always some small traces of streaks.

So what I do is to use solutions for the first wipe, then another wipe to dry it off and then a nice microfibre for the finishing. With these kind of wiping action, static dust problems will come. So I have a nice soft brush to remove them.

By the way, does anyone know where to get a screen protector that covers the entire glass surface of the MBP?

have a look at Capdase brand. covers up to the black part, only got small hole for isight

Any retail stores selling these or at the garage sale? I've been looking high and low, no luck yet.

cant find it in the garage sale though

he's selling Moshi iVisor AG

capdase screen protector for macbook, rm89.90... but ur macbook screen will become blur coz da screen protector not 100% transparent...

Recently the MacBook Pro screen is getting into my head Headaches after prolonged viewing. Its not the regular reflections of a glossy screen but the glass is too reflecting a lot of stray lights into my eyes. Can't really explain it.

By the way, any risks using it without a screen protector? I reckon a glass surface is quite resistant to scratches. Using a microfiber and a brush to clean out dusts.

Hi everyone

Was wondering what products you use to clean your mac and how do you clean it.

I know its been covered previously on other posts but there's one item i dont see being discussed.

Just to compare, the Iklear is RM 88, the quality i believe is vouched by many,

and there is now there is this product called Topper LCD Cleaning Screen Kit, RM 35

Anyone has used it ? care to share their thoughts on the Topper product ?

If you guys planning to clean your screen without splurging out.

Get a high quality Lens Cloth. Make sure that it is 100% microfiber. My mom bought a new glasses and not using her new Lens cloth. So I use it to clean my screen. It work perfectly.

Only you need to clean it like everyday.

i juz use glassex window cleaner for my screen. anything wrong? but using high quality microfiber cloth

i heard alcohol is really bad for matte screen (since it removes the matte coating off) but doesnt really matter for a glossy screen. ammonia (in cleaning substances such as Windex) however, is bad cause it will turn the screen yellow and make it brittle. ive had some weak alcohol based cleaners to clean my glossy screen and it works better in getting rid of fingerprints on it than to just use water.

what u said abt matte screen is true. best to just use damp cloth for matte screen. about the ammonia, u're referring to matte screens, i presume?

i know this may sound dumb, but it actually worked for me for a long time. on my old macbook white, the palm rests and area surrounding keyboard gets black with sweat marks.. i use an eraser to rub it and wipe away the rubbings with a dry cloth. then repeat as many times you need and wipe away with a damp cloth in the end.

that's actually a proven technique!

is there any cleaning kit which work as good as iklear but cheaper then it?
