Personally, I use alcohol pad. Not only it remove the oily stuff but hygiene reasons too.

I would use Apple Polish Singles. Make sure you clean when the PB is off. Maybe first use compressed air to blow away dust and hairs. Click on the ShaggyMac image to find the Apple Polish.

I don't know about that. I used alcohol to clean my old notebook and I ended up with one huge black circle on the silver finish .

Woo.... What's the alcohol concentration? 70% should be fine. Don't use those 95% stuff. BTW, what's the finish on your old notebook?

I use 409 sprayed onto a paper towel. Do not spray directly on the keyboard! A little buffing and your keyboard should be clean.
