Evidently, some of the chemicals in scented hand lotions can act as a catalyst for the marring of your 12-inch’s keyboard. Thanks to Andy for this info:
I work for an Apple Authorized Reseller and Service Provider. I have seen many a keyboard come through here. Recently, a lady brought in an iBook, still under the first year of warranty, with half the keys rubbed off. When presented with this problem, Apple suggested the lady not use scented lotions. Apparently one of the chemicals in the lotion is a catalyst for the rub off. Though most people don’t need to worry so much about this, I thought I would give you heads up.
Wash your hands before you play with your 12-inch, and if you must use lotion, make sure it is not scented.
