Cleaning alu cases?

mjd · 8 Oct 2009 at 20:20

My PC-A7010 is looking a little tainted with my fingerprints all over it and I wondered what others use to clean their alu cases. I have had some bad experiences with trying to remove fingerprints from alu in the past, so whats the best thing to use?

I asked this last year, and got some very helpful responses

Flash wipes work well, basically any de-greaser will do.

Excellent - not sure on the vinegar though, think I'll keep that for me dinner!

Just cleaned a brushed alu case with plenty of furniture polish and a yellow duster. Just did the separate panels and made sure when doing the main body it was earthed. Came out like a new case, honestly! Seems to have left a protective residue on there too. Think it was pledge. Secret was use a lot in one area and spread it around when rubbing. Got years of stubborn stains out.
