Micro-fibre clothes are best -- the ones that do not leave micro-scratches on surfaces.

My friend works at a ipod repair shop and says that you shouldn't use water because water can get into the cracks and form corrosion which will in time make the unit useless. He's seen this a lot of times. You should use alcohol instead because it's dehydrator.

Did anyone notice that random comment at the end of the video that was completely usless. And your not supposed to use water, it could seep throught the cracks, and if you keep it in the case you wouldnt need to clean it. ALL IN ALL THIS HOW-TO WAS A WASTE.
