make sure you clean from inside out

Why ?

cause your sposed to wipe from the inner hole to the outside edges in a LINEAR direction, not in a circle. CDs are not engineered like albums, and circular cleaning will fuck it up

i always used to clean in a circle, nothing ever happened, but i now know not to..

if it scratched use a mild metal polish such as duraglit or brasso to work the scratches out, it will slightly dull the cd and may slow it down whilst installing if it software. hold the disc up to a light, if you can see pinholes coming thru then the data on that part will be lost and no amount of cleaning will restore it as you can see some of us in here dont hold a grudge

Brasso.........I have been using it for years.
Perfect.

If my DVD-ROM refuses to accept a CD, I just wipe the back with my T-shirt and it works fine.

my friend asked me a long time ago if I had any of that stuff you spray on cd's to cleans them, I said spit

Rinse the CD under the tap then dry it with a towel. USE THE COLD TAP THOUGH!

A Brillo Pad with Vim is great for those CD's that just wont work on and old CD-player. Oh yeah, dont forget to read my sig before though
