<html> Hi David,             &nbs= p;   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. Rubber gloves are recommended, as it is hard on the skin.
