2011 macbook air see through trackpad?

Sometimes these things come from factory dirty. Every new Mac I buy needs to be cleaned. Sometime things like you show, or that look like scratches will wipe off using Goo Gone

It look like the parts are showing through it though. Towards the middle there is also a cross like blemish showing through. It would not wipe off with my fingers.
 
clean it with a little rubbing alcohol on a cloth. that's what I do when its really dirty. but it dries super fast (so even if you use too much.. assuming the comp is off, it won't be a big deal, since it still evaporates quickly).

Thank you for the advice. I will delete the thread if this works. I just kind of freaked out. I already exchanged the 13in for the 11in with the specs I wanted..samsung monitor and display so I hope it is not faulty or a quality control imperfection.
 
I took this to the apple store and they suggested replacing it rather than repair the trackpad as it could be something underneath that's a cosmetic defect.
