hi everyone take this as a warning not to buy cheap cases from ebay lol

i purchased a flip case that turned into a stand a touchpen and screen protectors for less than £7 in a package from ebay i found my screen was less responsive than normal with the screen protectors fitted the touchpen never worked at all? and the case was a poor fit was ok as a stand but i decided to remove it all and get a refund off the seller which i have.

 

now back to the topic in hand 

 

i have removed this cheap leather look case to find my purple h2 has black stains all over it around the edges mainly it looks like the die from the case has stained it!

 

any ideas how i can get this off?

 

i have tried baby wipes alcohol wipes carb cleaner soapy water on a cloth nothing gets it clean?

 

might crack out the dremmel see if that cleans it up?

What attachment are you thinking of using on the rotary tool?

 

Your question is really more to do with chemistry than something specific to the Hudl. You need to know what cheap black dye can be used to stain leather and also rubs off easily and then you might be able to find what solvent can remove it without dissolving the plastics. My only suggestion is methanol (because it works on domestic permanent marker), taking care to avoid skin, mucosal and respiratory contact because it's toxic.

Well I was thinking a wool buffer on my rotary tool?

And I was aiming this at the hudl2 specifically I'm sure there are more people out there with an assortment of different coloured hudl 2s that have become dirty and need cleaning, just holding mine with relatively clean hands leaves dirty marks on the sides and are hard to get off. Maybe there is a tad interest in the field of chemistry but I am no chemist? I would just like to know what others are using to clean there hudl2 and if there are any suggestions on how to remove my staining without damaging the unit?

I understand your reasoning for asking here but I just don't think the average Hudl user is going to be able to help. I'm inclined to blame the dye rather than the plastic. I'd try asking on the Wikipedia Science reference desk or a chemistry forum. In any case, the buffer attachment is worth a try - just take care that the metal holder doesn't poke through.

lol... I have the same issue with my white Hudl 2 with the Tesco black case no less; it has stained the white exterior of my case, round the edges. That is definitely dye transfer, but the Hudl 2 chassis is coated with some weird plasticy stuff; maybe plastic cleaner would work?
