[SunRescue] Cleaning up old Sun gear

[Mike Hebel]

If you go out to the grocery store and look in the cleaning aisle you'll
find several products that come in the oblong squeeze bottles.  The one that
comes to mind is "soft-Scrub" however that's a bit abrasive.  Look around
for similar products.  As long as you aren't looking for an "original"
surface case these products work well to remove yellowing.  If you're
looking to restore the original look and feel I don't know what to tell you.

BTW - the "soft-scrub" type of cleansers _will_ remove lettering on occasion
so be careful!  They are not to be used on keyboard keys!

Hope this clears things up!

Mike,

Can you be more specific on the "semi-paste"?  I am not sure what you
are suggesting.

I don't have too much marker to remove, normally.  I did get a few Apple
// items that had marker on them, However.  Alcohol took most of the
marker off.  I used an old toothbrush to scrub the areas with plenty of
the alcohol.
