Cleaned my IBM Thinkpad X31. An impulse eBay purchase a couple of years ago, always been a fan of the Thinkpad range (my old man a technophobe, used to get these with work, they sat unused in their bag). I used to borrow and install Quake and whatnot. The X31 is in great shape, swapped the keyboard for a new one and now, only the lid was letting it down.
IBM's infamous rubbery surface, has marks which I can only guess, caused by Coca Cola or candle wax? During the last few months, I tried Cif, car interior cleaner, whilst both improved, the marks still came back.
Well, I read a post on Vogons about Magic sponges (never heard of them before) purchased a pack for other jobs and tonight, randomly got the urge to give it ago on the Thinkpad.
Well, they are amazing, it makes my laptop look like new.
Currently running Blood like a champ, now going to download Quake etc to see how it fares. Definitely recommend if you have a Thinkpad.
