Are the CD-Cleaning fluids effective?

I have heard that there are some liquids which remove the scratches on a CD. Are they really effective?

Is there any special liquid to clean fingerprints & dust on a CD-R Media? I use spirit or soft perfumes & sometimes water to clean a CD. Is is right?

Hi,

always use some kind of cd spray to clean rented cd/dvd's.
Be carefull if you cleana cd/dvd always wipe from the inside to the outside (or outside to inside) and not circular.

It works for me

I just use sprays that I buy from computer stores and it works fine

Look into the ingredients of the CD cleaner and you will find that it is made of two things:

1) Water
2) Isopropyl Alcohol

You can use Rubbing Alcohol and it will work just as fine as commercial CD-cleaners since the CD-Cleaner solution is just alcohol itself.
