Couldn't find anything about this in the search and not sure which forum to put this in but...

What's the best way to clean the MPC of dirt/dust etc.? Any specific things you guys use to clean the body/pads/LCD/metal underbody?

On another note, I don't suppose they sell replacement rubber foot pads for the bottom of MPCs?

well i would normally say used compressed air and blow the sh!t away, but someone told me that really wasnt a good idea as the dust will just fall back down anyway.......

maybe one of those swiffer duster things i think they're called? one of those things that dust clings to like a magnet

Thanks guys, I'm probably gonna get those sanitizing wet wipes to clean up the MPC casing and the rubber pads, it turns out there's a little dirt and grime on the case too and not just the pads. There's actually some scratches too and 2 missing rubber feet and a missing screw from the bottom metal faceplate. I didn't notice any of this when I got it (probably because it was in a very poorly lit basement and I was more worried about actually testing it out than seeing if it was clean or had rubber feet.) It's surprising that it works so well considering. I mean it's not like it looks totally jacked, just those few small things I missed. At least I only paid $550.

Thanks, hey Recks do you happen to have the link for that post? I just tried searching for it and came up with Nada.

i take my sh it apart every 6 months---clean the casing in the sink with cold water and a sponge, as well as the pads.

the inside of the machine stays pretty clean, but a swifter would be a good idea

Seems like alot of work but that's a good idea...I might have to set some time aside to do that, should probably fix the loose/bent screw anyways. Anybody know the exact screw size for the screws on the bottom metal plate of the MPC 2000XLs?

On a side note, anyone know how to get rid of scratches on the blue casing part?
