I placed inside my briefcase the Powerbook and some files that were hold with a paper cliper. That damn paper cliper scratched my Powerbook. Actually it didn't scratch it, but it left something that looks like a scratch. The thing is that is not an actual scratch, but I can't clean that area. I have tried with some cleaning wipes that I use for my display to clean it. I am afraid to try something else, I don't want to damage my Powerbook. Do you guys know something with which I can clean my Powerbook?

Thank you

It's mainly for the screen, but I find it okay for the case as well.

It sounds like you've actually scratched the case, though. I'm pretty sure the aluminium is painted, and so, it may not feel deep enough to be a scratch, but it's probably that the paint has been scratched off. If the marks look like a dark shade of grey, or black, then this is probably true.

Real dirt should just lift off with the likes of cleaning wipes.

Good luck,
