[Q] How do I clean a black One's back??

[Luisit0]

So I got a black HTC One and barely 15 minutes after using it, it already had fingerprints. But, that's not the problem... The problem is, no matter what kind of cloth I use (the one that came with InvisibleShield, the ones that came with all my old phone's screen protectors, the ones my old cases included, etc...) there's just NO way to clean this b*tch!!! I even thought they were scratches, but that's just impossible, this is the first day of usage it's had and I barely handeled it for a few minutes before putting it in a case... Anyways, those of u using a black htc one or that have had similar issues before, what would u recommend??? Thanks in advanced!!

Try rubbing alcohol and a microfiber cloth.

Hmm, I don't have alcohol right now but I'll give it a go tomorrow cause where I'll be I'll be able to try it. Have u tried it?

I have a silver One, but rubbing alcohol has always taken the little marks and fingerprints off of other metals with black finishes. It's safe for electronics too. Apply it to a small part of the cloth, work the cloth until it's damp and carefully wipe. Don't slosh the liquid on the phone or get it in the ports..

One more thing... It can affect some plastics and leave a powdery residue so keep it away from the sides and antenna lines. I doubt it would affect the plastic phone, but I'd hate to be the guinea pig.

I've heard others have had success using a slightly damp Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. You may want to try that first.

If a damp cloth or microfiber doesn't cut it for you a sand paper delivers a clean slate!!!

So I tried with alcohol and the cleaning cloth from InvisibleShield, my phone looks brand new!!!! (except for a few marks which I suspect may be permanent :crying
Thanks for ur suggestion, it did the trick :good:

Rubbing alcohol is safe with polycarbonate plastic.

+1 at one point I noticed I accidentally rubbed some on the top antenna strip, I checked my signal and it was still full... Out of curiosity I rubbed the alcohol damped cloth through the whole top antenna strip and nothing happened, then I just cleaned the whole back (except the camera and flash of course) and it's all good still
