Cleaning my iBook G4. It's dirty.

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to clean one's iBook. It used to be sparkling white. Now it's sort of dingy and the shift key is sticky. What products are best at removing the dinge, especially right above the touch pad? Thanks a million.

iBook G4, Mac OS X (10.4.2)

I use the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser for areas such as the palmrests, trackpad, button, and the area around the screen. Then I use iKlear (from the Apple Store) to clean the keyboard, screen and outer case. Both products have worked well for me for a long time.

A damp water (microfiber) towel should be all you need.

Personally I use glass cleaner sprayed on a towel (not directly on the computer or even on the screen). This works great for me, although some people told that glass cleaner can destroy the anti-reflexive coating of the LCD screen.
