What CD cleaner to use?

  There are cases where I use a cleaner. When I do use a cleaner, I just use a spray intended for my glasses. Otherwise, I will just rinse them under hot water , and carefully dry them off with terry cloth, from center to outer edge. Most important to me is not to make any scratches. If you do, it is better that they are radial scratches rather than circular, i.e. in line with the laser tracking the disc.

Best I ever used was Intron Protect from Nanotec Systems out of Japan. Unfortunately haven't been able to find any more. CDs that would not play after a few skirts played without any issues.

Another Shinola guy here.
Been using it for years.

I've tried most of them, including the expensive ones. Here's what I've found to be best ... the eyeglass lens cleaner sold by Walmart. Under three-bucks per spray bottle.

The late Tim Mrock of Perfect Path Technologies turned me on to it.
