Hey, so you’re a bit bummed that your snazzy MacBook looks like trailer trash worked on it and want it cleaned, now, then there’s some hope. Go into the bathroom and grab your wife’s finger nail polish. Apply it to a cloth and do some rubbing and bingo, you’re back in business. With all the bad press Apple is getting for the dirty white MacBooks in the wild, hey, this may help keep you happy until Apple fixes your new baby.

SURELY THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE NAIL POLISH REMOVER AND NOT ACTUAL NAIL POLISH???
NAIL POLISH WOULD BE LIKE APPLYING PAINT TO YOUR MACBOOK (NEVER!!) BUT THEN NAIL POLISH REMOVER WOULD BE LIKE PUTTING BLEACH ON IT!!!
what?

You can use nail polish as long as you buy the kind WITHOUT Acetone, if you put Acetone on your computer, that is what would cause it to eat away at the paint… be careful

Do not use anyyyyyy kind of nail polish. First off, it does clean it. But sometimes if you scrub to hard, it eats away the plastic. I have a macbook and got a discoloration. I cleaned it using a non acetone nail polish remover it had disappeared. BUT, there is now a place on my top cover that actually sinks down lower than the rest of the cover because the nail polish remover ate the plastic away

I used a special polish without acetone on the side of the keyboard and it ate all the plastic. Don’t use it!.
If you planning to buy a MacBook, I suggest you to go for the black one.

Hey, so, I’m a bit bummed by this post’s retro title. Since, you know, I don’t have a wife.
Good luck with the whole nail-polish thing.

First of all….ITS CALLED NAIL POLISH REMOVER….and secondly, IT WILL EAT THE PLASTIC!! Dude, you should really stop giving advice to people, and check what you typed next time for literacy…. could any one else really understand what dude man was trying to say? I think not. ANY KIND OF NAIL POLISH REMOVER WILL DISSOLVE PLASTIC! Acetone or not. Think about it, its meant to take off enamel paint (really tough stuff) from finger nails… plastic will literally be melted by it. If you value your computer at all (and I’m sure we all do, MACINTOSH ROCKS) don’t use it, get some cleaner from Apple.

he meant the clear polish that polishes nails, not the coloured stuff, just to let all the future people who come here
