Finger Grease and Black Macbook

Hey folks! I just bought my first Mac yesterday (a black Macbook), and noticed a bit of a problem and was wondering if there was some solution. It appears as though the grease from my fingers (hey, you can't blame me, I'm a young guy going through puberty haha) is leaving sort of "marks" on both the keys and the mousepad. If I look at the mousepad from any angle, I can clearly see that certain spots and almost "worn," whereas other spots where I don't put my fingers as frequently look fine. Is there any solution to this? Any type of keyboard/mousepad cleaner to try to get rid of these marks? I knew that this would eventually happen, but I didn't expect to see it after only one day of use! Thanks in advance!

hey it happens to the best of us. by paying a little extra for that pretty blackbook, you have to pay the price of trying to keep it clean. dont feel bad, i go through the same experience with my black razor. it is just a question if you are anal about keeping it clean. i have a white macbook and i still clean it after evey time i use it, it is just the way that i am. i was the same way till my ibook died. all i do is get the pledge multi thingy spray that is safe for electronics or endust is fine... and all you do is spray some on a clean undershirt... the soft white kind and while your macbook is off and unplugged, just wipe that baby down. just be sure not to do it to the screen for fear of leaving smudges. but that should work and also keep that smell down that some people complain of with all the grease from you hands. hope it helps!
