these spots r likely to be tarnishing caused by acid from the sweat from our hands. best way to prevent this is to wipe clean the surface at least once a day.

I don't really remember that our sweat is acidic or contains acidic substance. Most likely it is dirt from our skin mixed with sweat and cause sediments to accumulate on the aluminum surface. The surface is matte and it has good chances for holding dirt over long period of usages.

The usual recommendation, a damp lint cloth and soapy water to clean it. It dirt has been there for months, then its time to use a stronger agent like 50% alcohol swaps or something of similar nature.

where to get this alcohol swabs?

can go speedy-video shop and buy those VCR head cleaner alcohol. Very mild and good for removing stains and dirt from the aluminium surfaces.

No need to pay premium price from those Apple retail shops too tongue.gif

Nay, I think buying SP for MacBook is kinda a waste of money shakehead.gif After all, the screen is not exposed when you keep it in ur bag unlike ipod or other gadgets. So, better save the money for other accessories biggrin.gif

Its glass for the Alu Macs. You need something higher density than glass to scratch it by accident. Example: Diamonds or Ruby.

tis will prevent markings
