    May sound like a silly question but how can I get the fingerprint oil off my ux31a touch?

    I've tried using an eyeglass cloth with a bunch of different liquids including water, water with dishwashing soap, eyeglass cleaner.

    I still can't get a 1" oil stain off my touchpad where my finger usually sits.

    Anyone had this issue and figured out a solution? Thanks.

    I have this too, but actually I prefer some oil on the touchpad vs no oil when touchpad operation is less smooth. My $0.02!

    It's going to sound like a silly answer, but I use Vaseline and a microfiber on everything, then I use a clean microfiber to polish clean. The idea is that I dissolve the oils and greases into the solvent of the Vaseline, establishing an even coating of oil on the machine, then wipe it away. Sounds stupid , you probably think I am a mega troll but you should try it. Nickel/Quarter sized dollops of Vaseline on the lid, deck and bottom and everything comes out shining and ironically slightly more resistant to oily deposits. IF you do try it tell me what you think.
