I used to use a scraper, as that was the method taught. =
Now I use
the Fantastic for the sides, it just cuts through that black crud, and =
finger
grease. No material is removed, and it works well getting the =
dirt from
under the key lip, so the fronts also look clean. One cleaner to do =
the tops,
sides and fronts.<BR>Rubber gloves are recommended, as it is hard on =
the
skin.<BR>Regards Roger<BR><BR><BR>At 08:03 AM 8/13/02 -0700, you
