A Challenge: Plastic Macbooks for July

If 2009-2010 MacBooks are OK, I have one that might be of use.

They can also officially run up to at least El Capitan I think, so actual semi-modern computing is vaguely possible with them.

Well I'm not going to play this game. But I will give you a hint (and no i haven't read the post so someone else may have already said this, but...)

A Mr Clean Magic Eraser will make the grosses white plastic MacBook look like brand spanking new again! I've seen it with my own eyes many times. It never ceases to amaze. Works on white keyed-desktop keyboards too.

Just, of course, make sure that the sponge is not dripping wet. Or you'll be out the $3.50 that macbook is actually worth.
 
Or if you use it awhile, it'll happen for you! <snip> really hard to keep clean <snip> scratched up super easily <snip>
Honestly I never knew! My iceBook/600 didn't get noticeably scratched and the only other ones I've come across: my own 2006 MacBook CD/1.83; my niece's MacBook 2010 and my current 2008 MacBook C2D/2.4 from my ex-workplace all have plastics in good condition!
