I want to be a cleaner for wipe the outside of my mbp
Can someone recommend me a good cleaner solution in the disposable wipe form plz
 
Never use cleaning solutions

Never use cleaning solutions. They are toxic, bad for your health, bad for your gear and bad for the environment. Water and a good micro cloth are best. Indeed, this is what apple recommends. If you need to get oils off the keyboard you can use a bit of rubbing alcohol or vinegar, but only use these to remove grease not as general cleaning solutions because they will damage your gear. This was also recommended to me by Apple geniuses.

How to clean Apple products

Apple also gives instructions on how to clean your Mac in the User Guides for the MBA, MBP and iMac:
Cleaning your Mac When cleaning the outside of your Mac and its components, first shut down your Mac, and then unplug the power adapter. Then use a damp, soft, lint-free cloth to clean the Mac exterior. Avoid getting moisture in any openings. Do not spray liquid directly on the computer. Do not use aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasives that might damage the finish. Cleaning the Mac screen To clean your Mac screen, first shut down your Mac and unplug the power adapter. Then use a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with just water and wipe the screen. Do not spray liquid directly on the screen.
Also, you'll find plenty of suggestions by searching through the many existing threads on this topic, such as these:
 
I have been cleaning my 2009 MBP with the eyeglass wipes. Maybe a few times a month over the 4-5 years. Seems to be fine.

Not saying this is the best thing to do, but it seems to have worked.
