I'm sure you're all going to think that I'm overly fussy, but this morning I noticed a small black mark on the palm-rest of my Mini 9. I've had loads of other marks like this on it, but they've all scratched off with my finger nail. This one won't scratch off and feels like its a mark in the actual plastic. Is there any way of getting rid of it?

You might try a Q-Tip (cotton swab) with rubbing alcohol. If it's a scratch, though... well, what can I say.

Thanks! I'll try that in a minute, but before I do, if it is a scratch, is there any chance that it'll make it worse?

No - the alcohol will just clean off any gunk that may be there.

you could also buy a new palm rest if money isn't an issue.....

I might have an extra palm rest if you are interested PM me

That's why I never let Mark anywhere near my stuff.
