Hey guys, I was wondering what would be the best way to clean smudges, etc... from the aluminum powerbooks?
Got a tip for us?

Step 1:
i take glasses cleaner for the screen and a fine fiber cloth. I do the same with the rest of the case and keyboard, track pad.
Step 2:
Spray the glasses cleaner on the tip of a q-tip, and go over all the edges of your pb (between keyboard keys, edges of display, anything and everything)
Step 3:
Admire the beautiful and clean powerbook you now have.
I usually just use water, or lightly soaped water and a lint-free cloth.
If you must buy something, I hear iClean(er) works well.

iClean and iKlear are two products that you can clean PBs with.
They're OK for LCD screens.. there's a special covering that can come off if you use something that isn't good for it.

iKlear is what I use on my PB, Cinema Display & iPod. It is a two part system, damp cloth for cleaning and then a polish cloth. I have not tried the iKlear on my 5G iPod yet, I am reluctant to do so without really getting it wet so I eliminate any possibilities for scratches.
Good Luck!

Oh.. they sell iKlear in normal big bottles and shammy cloth packs! I got mine for $10!
Check the Apple store or frys for the NOT travel packs..
A damp Radtech Screensavrz does the trick for me. The initial cleaning of the screen required someting a little more heavy duty, but maintaining it with the screensavrz makes my screen always clean!

What about the people who obsessively clean their PBs?
I got a thumbprint on mine through airport security, was out of iKlear travel packs. I tried rubbing it off for about 20 minutes.
I had to wait on a FOUR HOUR FLIGHT and then a 8 hour drive home to be able to clean it again!
...OK, I'm a PowerBook clean freak.

I use Windex wipes. They do a great job at cleaning the entire machine up and making it look shiny and new!
