So I have extremely sweaty hands (ok ok ok, I know I'm opening myself up for jokes here), and I want to keep my New Powerbook clean. To tell you how bad my hands can get, let me give you these examples:

When I play games my mouse is left with gunk in certain areas. I have to use my fingernail to scrape it off.

I play the viola. I go through strings like no tomorrow because the oils in my hands eats the strings away.

You can tell where I stick my hands on my steering wheel, because the color is about three shades lighter then the area around it.

Anyhow, I don't want any gunk buildup on my Powerbook, and besides putting on gloves, can anyone recommend a some good cleaners or things to keep my Powerbook clean?

First, get a cover for the keys so the oil does not rub off onto the screen when you close it.

Radtech makes one that is well reviewed(though not what I have):

I use rubbing alcohol and a clean, lint free cloth to clean the palm rests once in a while.

Get NuShield Kleer Kloths for cleaning the LCD screen:

There is also another thread that discusses this topic (got buried)

eeeeeee..i would avoid rubbing alcohol.. then again, i guess that is the main ingredient in a loot of cleaners.. I'm not sure what is in iclear, but it works like a champ for me.. never scratched or damaged.. does help to repel dust from teh screen. I always cleaned my entire tibook with it.
