Re: Uh oh: Dirrrty MacBooks! Seen a few people complaining about stuff like this happening to their white Macbooks on the net.
Here the link to Apple's forum and their thread:

Thankfully, the solution seems simple. Clear, non-acetone nail polish did the trick for one user. I hope that is the case as I have 2 white Macbooks coming in tomorrow

TiArmor for Macbook please!
Actually, the non-acetone (well he noticed that it was acetone based after - some japanese/chinese brand) nail polish was tested on an ibook. Another member tested it on his macbook to no avail. Acetone damages palstic!Last edited by t43m4n; 06-14-2006 at 02:33 PM.

Re: Uh oh: Dirrrty MacBooks! so did the nail polish remove the stains or proteect from getting them? im imagining an extra glossy surface where the nail polish is applied, and a pinkish hue around it due to merthiolate tincture.

Re: Uh oh: Dirrrty MacBooks! Guys, all you need is the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser or the local Powerhouse Super Eraser and a lot of PATIENCE and DEVOTION. If it can make the iBook look like new, then it'll definitely work for the Macbook white. Available at Tru Value or DIY.
