It works mch faster than oils and will also remove most other hard to shift stains as well, such as pen marks and those weird black scuffs you never can work out, in the process. I have a 2 sge cleaning process for Mac cases, first is a general purpose foam case cleaner, which I think is water based, then anything that don't shift gets soaked with IPA. As a BEWARE, IPA strips off some of the inks on Mac cases, specifically, IME, serial numbers on serial number labels and the "PowerPC" logos on PowerMacs. I am real jealous of you yanks, I have to pay �2.50 for a can of IPA spray from a mail order supplier!! -- Mark Benson AIM - SilValleyPirate Visit FlatPackMacs online: <http://fpm.gotdns.com> Mac LC Central -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
