It was long overdue for me to clean my Macbook Pro. Being not only my first Mac, but my first Laptop, and my first LCD screened-computer, I wanted to proceed with caution.
After doing some research, and I decided on the "iKlear" line available at iklear.com, I decided to order through Amazon, to save a few dollars and purchased this package, KLEARSCREEN iKlear Apple Polish Kit. The package that arrived (quite quickly, 3 days for $5 shipping), was not the same one that was pictured, an updated package arrived...
* The instructions that were included were quite vague. But, this is a polishing kit, not a robot, so a lot of instruction was not needed. I was however looking for some kind of usage tips, but only short paragraphs were included.
The cleaning. I opted to clean the bottom surface as a test first, and to make sure everything would work out. I spritzed the polish to cover the surface then rubbed in small circles. This was a mistake, as it left odd trails, so I wiped horizontally and this seemed to do the trick.
*Wash. Rinse. Repeated for the top surface. Worked perfect with the exception of highlighting a tiny knick I have managed to get somehow. This however, is not the job of the polish.
Now the scary part, the LCD screen. Spritzed the polish on, wiped with the same "Kloth" and everything was kosher.
Everything worked like a charm for reasonable price.
* The travel size kits included (6) did not work as well.
* Used on my iPod, for the simple fact it was listed as an included object that is cleanable by the product. This however, was a joke and perhaps futile effort for the reason that my iPod [iPod photo] is pretty scratched up on the back. Don't expect the same magic when using this particular product with iPods.
Just wanted to put this review out there, its my first, and I'm sure MacRumors is riddled with much of the same type of post; but at least I didn't ask when the new iPods would be released...
