Steven,I have a powerbook duo with some unwanted permanent marker writing on the back side of the display casing near the apple logo.I repeatedly poured small amounts of 99% isopropyl alcohol on the permanent marker stain and wiped the area with a cloth. The permanent marker faded a lot however it faintly remains. Has anyone been able to completely remove permanent marker off of a duo?
Shipped equipment all over the world, and often customs would write on the custom plastic packing crates.
Between their markings and the residue from labels, sticky tape and duct tape, our favourite cleaner was WD-40. Hate to think what was in it, but it did the job nearly every time, without any obvious damage.
Obviously, not worth the risk of spraying directly at your machine, but rather spray onto a soft rag and gently rub.
For the tougher stuff, we'd lay a little kitchen towel on the area, wet it with WD-40 and leave it in place for a while. After some time you'd usually find it all easy to wipe off.
** BUT ALWAYS CHECK THAT THE PARTICULAR CLEANER YOU ARE USING DOES NOT AFFECT THE PLASTIC BY TRYING IT ON A HIDDEN CORNER FIRST! **
Good luck.
Marc
