Unfortunately I used acetone to clean my macbook a1342 last night and this morning the parts of the case I cleaned are now dull and worn down by the acetone. Is there anything I can do about this? How could I rebuff it to make it shiny again or at least repair the damage to an extent? Is there any kind of oil or polish I can use? I tried leaving a thin layer of toothpaste on in for half an hour and rubbing toothpaste over it but this didnt do very much.
Sorry not much you can do here as the acetone ate into the plastic case. But, didn’t you say you wanted to jazz up your system using skins? ;-} MacBook Skins
Tristan Gale, depends on how far do you want to go with it. You can always remove the upper case MacBook Unibody Model A1342 Upper Case Replacement and then use #1000 grit wet sandpaper and start sanding the case. This of course means that everything else is removed! Then go to a 1500 or 2000 grit sandpaper and sand the whole surface for a couple of minutes more. Dry with a soft towel and you can then use plastic polish to buff. Or you can just skin it out or replace the complete case.
