How do you guys keep yours 'clean' so to speak?

Mine is covered in fingerprints etc, and the trackpad is now 'shiny'. Cant get it clean and its really annoying!

Every iBook or Macbook I've ever seen that was more than a month old has a shiny touch pad. My Lowly Thinkpad is quite shiny there as well. I think it just comes with the territory.

Yeh, i didnt mind on my Ibook, but as this is black it shows up a lot more and the touch pad looks odd against the matt black.

antistatic foam cleaner is the muts for getting rid of the grim on notebooks or any pc kit for that matter, just be ultra gentle if cleaning the screen mind. just google it.

As disfunktion said, the other Mac notebooks all suffer from this but the black shows it up a lot more, my white MacBook's trackpad is starting to become shiny but it's very hard to see under normal light. I don't bother cleaning mine because I know that it will become dirty the second I use it again, a slightly damp microfibre cloth is what I used on the exterior of my MacBook to get rid of fingerprints, I don't know if it would work on the trackpad though.

I sat next to a bloke in a airport last week and he had a black one, and it looked great but I did think "thats a lot of finger prints!"
