Yellow discoloration How-to get rid off it?

Hello,

since the original thread was closed down without any answer on the subject, here goes: How to get rid of the yellow/grey/orange discoloration a lot of MacBooks are showing? This is a technical issue, so I think there should be no problems with this thread now should there.

OK, another thing: Since the last thread WAS shut down, it certainly seems that someone of Apple is reading these post after all, so maybe any official answers?

Hoping for problem-solving and sincerely,

Martin Stroschein.

I am scared ! My MB is only 1 day old so no problems at the moment. Shieldzone is on the way $50 odd so I hope this helps.

I think it is good that Apple must have seen the discussions. The MacBook is beautiful and I really want it to stay that way...

I, like many others have been impressed with the ipod and tempted away from a cheaper black windows laptop (sorry notebook!)

Probably because there are pages upon pages of messages on the topic with no real solution.

And yet, I offer another. ;>)

Try this stuff:

If the link is broken, go to http://www.officedepot.com and do a search for "Sanford Expo". I used it a couple of years back to clean some cigarette smoke stained telephones that electronically were still useful for our new smoke-free offices. The phones were white, but stained to a yucky creamed yellow. Sanford Expo removed it.

If anyone is in the Houston - Conroe - Huntsvillel I-45 coverage area, and you have a stained MacBook, I'd love to meet up with you and see if this cleaner will help. My white MacBook is still stain-free, for some reason. Below is a descriptor from Office Depot:

* Tough but gentle cleanser removes board stains. Tough enough to get rid of shadows, ghostings, stains and permanent ink from dry-erase boards — gentle enough not to harm the board.
* Spray bottle for maximum board coverage. Just squirt some in each area of the board for quick, even distribution of cleaner. Handy palm-sized spray bottle is comfortable to hold.

I would propose doing just a very small area on the stain. Cost is only $3.50 or so for the spray bottle.

Spain? Well, ok...

Look for any white board cleaner that also is able to remove permanent marker writings. The key is any phrase that indicates it is gentle on the material.

Surely Europe has a similiar product. Office supply store??? What about Viking Direct? Surely, Spain has office supply stores:
