I love my iBook, but after some use, I've noticed slight black scuff marks on the wrist rest area surrounding the touch pad. I gather from my dirty wrists!!

Can anyone recommend a non-destructive, way of getting these marks off without the use of a professional cleaner/polisher? I'm talking about stuff common around the house that works well.

Thank you in advance.

Water has always worked for me.

I picked up some stuff called iKlear from my local AppleCentre that cleans my screens my iBook and my iPod...

Is good stuff. I imagine any optical grade cleaner that is non alcohol and non ammonia should be ok.

Some isopropyl alcohol wipes (eg. Wet Ones) will get rid of the sruff marks without any problems. Just don't use them on the screen (I do, but don't recommend it unless you dilute the wipes with water).
