    Hey, what does everyone use to clean the outside of there rigs? I'm trying to get the finger prints off of the glossy black paint on the top of my case, but I don't want to use anything that would damage the paint. So what does everyone else use?

    Also, what's the best way to clean the clear window side panel?

    Thanks :D

    Honestly, I'd just use a damp cloth wetted with warm water and a tiny bit of soap or washing liquid to clean a case, including the side panel.

    Yup. Ideally you want the vinegar based ones as they are really good for not leaving any streaking.

    Microfibre cloth.

    Instant success just keep rubbing, don't need any solvents or anything.

    Saying this I do use a bucket of hot waster and good old fairy liquid and a paint brush to clean my heatsinks and fans then run them under the garden hose...Put them on top of a towel on radiator to dry out.Works a treat...Even did this to a 9400gt that was artifacting washed dried retim boom it worked.:D

    Would Rubbing Alcohol or Turtle wax work for the gloss paint? I've got some Turtle wax laying around so I might try that. I tried just using the Microfiber cloth but it doesn't take the finger prints off.
