Cleaning an m17x?

Greetings,



As an owner of the m17x (testing it thoroughly before reviewing it =D), I have a problem that is a burden I have been carrying for the last week or two.

The beautiful matte black finish, tends to have ALOT of greasy fingerprints, and wiped out fingergrease on it ='<
I tried cleaning it with a dampened synthetic throw-away cotton-ish cloth, but it seems like it's leaving beind "stripes", as if the white of the chalk in the water is leaving a lighter mark where I wiped a bit harder ...
I also tried cleaning it with throw-away dampened cleaning cloths for glasses, but it has the same effect ='<

So whilst I am thinking back nostalgicly about my out-of-the-box-clean m17x, I ask you : How do I make her clean again?


Awaiting an answer, I greet you
Bed.

 

Try CRC's "CO Contact Cleaner". Its meant for cleaning electronic parts and contacts, but I found it to be extremely effective in dissolving grease & oils on my m15x.

hope this helps

 

BE AWARE !!: some contact cleaners affect paint... (M15X has a different paint finish "more resistant transparent layer")

I Think its better to do it with Monsterclean and a Microfiber cloth
or with this product http://www.plexusplasticcleaner.com/frames.html
it is a little stronger but not aggressive at all, and of course also with Microfiber cloth
i use Plexus myself it's great stuff, i have used it on my M9750 and on my M17X similar paintings on both notebooks.

 

I use the lense cleaning cloth I got from Eyemasters with my glasses. You can buy the kit seperately. I have several cases with piano like finish and it cleans without damaging the finish. Just rub it in a circular pattern. I also wash them seperately from my laundry. Gentle wash by hand or with my wife's "intimates". Keeps the fibers loose. And smells nice

 

I recommend a microfiber cloth, the kind that you can use for cleaning glasses. I have a "shaggy" microfiber cloth and it gets rid of all the grease on my eyeglass lenses, computer screens and glossy plastic finishes without using cleaners or leaving scratches.

mine wont fit in my washing machine so a micrfibre cloth will have t do

 

If you have a whitebook just be careful with the bleach and they will come out beautiful.

 

My Ray Ban's came with microfiber cloth! Y'kno... in case you're getting new glasses soon.

 

Sorry for not responding, but I'm a bit bussy these days ^_^

Thanks alot for all the tips guys (and girls) , gonna run to the store one of these days to get a couple of those microfiber cloths and probably one of those cleaning products to get her shiny again =)
