Dishwasher.


On a more serious note, I'd suggest really really highly concentrated rubbing alchohol. You use it to clean processors, whenever you need to seat one, because it evaporates so quickly you don't have to worry about it causing a short . . . cause it won't be there. The higher the concentration, the faster it evaportes. Its a decent cleaner, too.

As far as scratches . . . well, an idea just came to me.

I was up late a few nights ago vegging in front of our TV when I saw an add for this product thingy, right? It was a clear polymer that you could paint onto scratched lenses that would fill in the scratches. It looked real nice, but you wouldn't want to use it on a glass lens cause polymer bends light differently. Anyway, it should be perfect for getting rid of scratches on your ipod. It wasn't too expensive, but I don't remember what it was called. But now you know that such products to exist.
