I don't like the white Macbook. It gets dirty too easily. My wife uses Chlorox wipes.

I use Windex. The black MacBook was pricier, so I opted for the white one.

Clorox wipes seem to work. Still faintly grayish though.

I would try Awesome spray, found at Dollar Store. It cleans brake dust off M-B wheels, so it's gotta be strong. But try it in a discrete corner first.

Haven't been able to get rid of the gray.

Are you talking about the case, the screen, the keyboard, or everything, or what. On the case I'd just start with a damp towel. For the screen they make alcohol free cleaners that seem to be a marketing gimmic. The best thing for the screen is probably just diluted isopropyl alcohol, 50% at the most.

Wouldn't really want to use Clorox as it seems to make certain things more brittle.

My nearly 3-year-old white G4 iBook is just fine.

Perhaps wash your hands more often?.....

I would stay away from anything that contains bleach/Chlorine because it will yellow the plastic, the diluted wipes may be ok if you finish with a moist rag but I would stick to a damp cloth.

Or pimp it and paint it a custom color.
