I just inherited 800-1000 CD's and a lot of them are filthy

I looked at the list, but I didn't see anything new. Does that mean that eyeglass cleaner or Dawn is still the best way to go? I have the Novus kit for the scratches, and a bunch of old tee shirts.

Thoughts?

I think what's left might be fingerprints that after 20-30 years are permanent. I've played a few and I can't hear anything out of the norm. Maybe I'll try the Novus and see if it removes the marks, and if I can hear a difference. JD

Otherwise, what everyone else - cleaner + microfiber cloth. I've never tried polishing out scratches, but now have ideas.... Thanks guys.
