Hi,

It looks like I have a little oil or grease stain on the right side of the palmrest of my 17". What is the best way to clean it without doing any harm. I'm almost tempted to use some of that all purpose orange cleaner that i use around the house, but I'm thinking that it's probably not too safe for the aluminum.

Let me know what you use. Many have said iklear or something like that. Is there anything around the house that you use?

Thanks so much?

It's probably just sweat. I usually just rub it off with my thumb, but a damp towel or rag is all you need. No chemicals are required.

Have you seen this thing called the "Wrist Rug"? I just got one today and I think I really like it. It's sort of like the Screen Savr, but sticks to the PB on the wrist rest area.

I was concerned about my wrist watch causing damage and I think this will be just the ticket...
