Alright, I have a White MacBook, what is the best way to wipe it down to clean it up after use, it is starting to show a few dark spots where my hands sit the the unit, I tried wiping it down with a damp cloth, anyone know of anything better that wont damage the computer?

When did you buy your Macbook? Apparently the older white Macbooks came with a factory problem regarding a bad formula for the plastic or something like that, which caused stains that would no go away no matter how much you wiped, no matter which product you used, and Apple didn't fix this until the Core 2 Duos were released, and they solved this problem by using a new plastic that is smoother and softer than the earlier one.
Is this kind of what's happening to you?

I just got it a week ago today, it doesnt look bad at all but I work at kind of a dusty place and I can slightly see where my hands were sitting.

Oh well then it's not big problem. Macbooks get greasy on those parts, it happened to my black macbook. My father used a non-static foam spray and it worked perfectly...I'll look for it and post a link :)
