This is something I discovered after using a pencil to jot down some phone notes on my MacBook's palm rest.

You can use a pencil eraser to remove the discoloration that appears around the MacBook palm rest area, on either side of the touchpad. It takes a quite a bit of effort, and it definitely seems that plastic erasers are best (rather than India rubber), but it's an effective non-chemical method. Watch out for bits of the eraser getting beneath the keys.
