gee, i was about to throw away the whole box, and thought i might take a look inside one more time and finally found the cloth everyone is talking about. lucky. now i can throw it away knowing i have my cloth
Never never ever throw electronic boxes.... especially those that came from Apple.
They are as sexy as the product inside it.
Yeah I polish out the aluminum with iklear. Matter of fact, I just bought another big bottle of it at Fry's.

You my friend, need to get out more. It's a box...for a computer. I think it's time to step away!Never never ever throw electronic boxes.... especially those that came from Apple.

Also, I used to obsess over keeping the keyboard as free from visible wear as possible. But now... I don't. My black unibody MacBook keyboard looks pretty disgusting, with very visible wear on nearly all the keys. But oh well, it's a keyboard and it's meant to be used. So I consider the wear a good thing, shows how often I use the product...
Anyway, iKlear + micro-fiber cloth will clean everything, including the keyboard. (It will get grease and oil off, but the general "shine" from the overall wear is permanent.)

Yeah man at first you're kinda bummed out about the keys being all shiny and worned but after a while you just forget about it since they keyboard is the part you touch the most.
Kind of, yeah. At first, you see the keys are brand new, and then after even just a couple hours of use, you start to notice really ugly shiny spots that only get bigger and worse over time. It used to annoy me, but now it's not a big deal. That's just how it is, I guess.
Although, it does annoy me that some other notebooks in fact put a coating on the keys that resists visible wear. Makes me wonder why Apple doesn't do that on their keyboards, considering how much their notebooks cost.
How do you clean the outside of an aluminum MacBook?
Hello.
Okay, so basically the outside of the MacBook has become really dirty. The screen is fine because the rag that came with it works excellent, but I need to know what can be used on the outside.
Thanks!
