Cleaning the silver trim on ip4 ?

What do you use to keep the silver edges clean on your ip4? I can just wipe my screen with a micro fiber cloth and I'm good to go. But when I wipe the silver with the cloth it leaves "smear" marks. If you use a damp cloth, some of the smearing goes away but not all of it.

I'm really not a clean freak at all and I know it's going to get prints on it all the time. But u figured somebody would know how to keep the silver trim nice at least for a while.
 
I use a fresh plucked feather off a bald eagle and slightly dampen it with baby tears before gently brushing off the stainless steel.

LOL.

Honestly, I don't worry about the silver band around the phone since that's not the part of the phone I look at the most. Just gotta keep the screen nice and clean.

You get finger prints on the stainless steel?:eek:

I don't.;)
 
try hydrochloric acid or gasoline and matches. that usually gets the smudges out.

P.S. as a bonus this also fixes all "grip of death" and proximity sensor problems!
 
I didn't realize this was a forum for out of work stand-up comedians. ;)
