I'm in a bit of a hurry, so this question will be poorly formatted and not spell checked:
My fucking father thought he would clean my laptop screen with multi surface polish and it's one of them shiny screens and tried to clean it with an old tshirt and now the whole thing's smeared to buggery and probably scratched, I can't see. I tried getting rid of them with a yellow polish cloth thing, but it just makes everything worse...
Any suggestions for getting rid of the smears?
Cheers.
Don't use polish. Polish fucks shit up. Use one of those half water, half alcohol mixture things that they give you at the glasses place. If you dont have any...well get one part alcohol and one or two parts water; mix it, and wipe it with the cloth on your screen.
Make that isopropyl alcohol.
Why would it have to be isopropyl? Woudln't any old high alcohol concentration thing do. I don't see why it has to be an isomer of propanol lol. Nice normal ethanol with a bit of methanol would do fine.
If you want to waste your good brandy on wiping your screen to reminisce over your mornings bent over the toilet.
Go ahead.
You can get non-isopropyl alcohol that not in a beverage. Furthermore a beverage wouldn't contain methanol unless you want to die. Or unless you consider anti-freeze brandy.... Surgical Spirit would do fine....

samfisher vs. loubear. priceless... just like in the old days. Also: Hey Sam, stop looking up stuff on wikipedia to look smart. You are neither a genius nor a chemist so stfu! It's plain obvious and you are pathetic... everyone knows that you keep posting unnecessary posts like that just to show off and profile yourself. FGS!!!!
I do A level chemistry FFS. Isomers are part of the syllabus! Furthermore the iso prefix makes it clear that the molecules in the isopropyl alcohol are isomeric of another molecule. The propyl suffix suggests its propanol. I think the only isomer of propan-1-ol is propan-2-ol so the chances are its referring to that?
