yup the one comes with spectacles or get iklear, atleast iklear comes with microfiber and it can be use to clean whole macbook, ipod etc.

do i need to apply any kind of solution while cleaning the thing? i have yet to shut down my laptop so dont have the chance of wiping it yet.

i dont think by just wiping using microfiber only, the oil will go away.. that's why i bought iklear (machines is selling at rm88)

usually i use microfiber to wipe out dust/dirt from screen and keyboard.. if there is finger print on the screen, i will use iklear.

bro i tried wiping it without the iklear solution (cos i havent got it) and it seems to b ABIT better, but still got abit. hmm this used to happen to my old laptop keyboard too but i never thought it wud with a mac. mayb my hands are sweaty.hmm. hmm.gif

isn't the apple cloth provided when we get a new macbook microfiber material as well?

what are the effects in the long run to the macbook aluminum if we do not clean them?
*
yeah they do provide the cloth but i dont use that one. dont think that is better than the one sold outside. its too . . smooth. mayb for cleaning the screen ok gua. rclxub.gif



anyways, wanna ask if my palms are sweaty (due to the heat from the macbook itself) will the surface of the laptop (on the left and right side of the trackpad) fad color? happened to my old laptop. if it will happen to the mac den i think i need to get something to protect that two area. cos my palms do sweat. sad.gif

in reference to my earlier post. so i purchased iklear and tried wiping my keyboard with it together with a microfiber clothe of cos, but the oily stains are still there. well its not as bad as before, but from a certain angle, it still seems visible.

im also worried that when i close my screen, the oil will transfer to my screen. after trying to clean away the oil stains on my keyboard, i used the iklear to clean the screen (with another clothe of cos). but after wiping, it seems like there is a layer of oil on my screen.

hmm any solution? blush.gif
