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.

true, its because of sweat. i got it on my previous mbp. now searching for a nice wristpad shield tongue.gif

for the unibody macbooks, any glass cleaning fluid will do. its just glass anyway. for matte screens juz use plain water...dun use any alcohol cuz it will damage the screen

the manual says that because if someone somewhere use a bad type of cleaning agent n spoilt their macbook, they can sue apple. so i guess apple is just being safe saying juz use damp cloth.

of course, we all know sometimes a damp cloth wont do anything.

in other words, do at ur own risk ;P

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

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! biggrin.gif

I have the Moshi Palmguard & Moshi Clear Guard purchased before my MBP arrived LoL. Actually a day before. anyways. the clear guard moves around when the macbook is closed and after a month its turned quite ugly. tried to clean it with water it didnt take. so i gave up on it a while. then tried again.. now it got slight marks on my matte screen. . . .  anyone know how to clean it ?! suggestions?

oh sorry2 my bad...i wrongly remembered which one the clear guard is hehehe

yes u're supposed to wash the clearguard with a little amount of soap. to clean ur screen, juz use a damp lint-free cloth. dont mix with anything because some chemicals can damage the matte coating.
