I use the same lens cloth as my eyeglasses and wipe from center outwards toward the edge.
facial tissue is like rubbing sandpaper if you use any pressure.
you can get a cleaning kit if you're worried.

| Delaware Senior Member 1706 Posts 7/04 |  Posted - Dec 22 2004 : 9:10AMI just bought a few used DVDs at a local store. The DVDs have fingerprints on the playing surface. Does anybody have tips for cleaning DVDs that won't scratch the playing surface? Thank you. [Link] |

| cv Member My reviews[/url] 594 Posts 7/03 | Posted - Dec 22 2004 : 9:09PM Since I picked up my first DVD player in circa 1997, I have washed a couple of dozen DVDs without ill effects. Since I picked up my first CD player in 1987, I have probably washed several hundred CDs without ill effects. Since my CDs have more opportunity to leave the house, they tend to accumulate more grime. However, try to resist the urge to pick up the steel wool.

| licker Senior Member Heretic, Iconoclast, Skeptic 1141 Posts 8/03 | Posted - Dec 23 2004 : 4:08AM When played dry, the vinyl surface would liquefy on a microscopic scale as the stylus passed along the groove. This provided a lubrication layer, just a few molecules thick, as the record played. If the surface had any water at all, the cooling effect would prevent this from happening, and the stylus would "chatter" in the groove, causing excessive wear. The last thing you want is chatter in a wet groove man! [Link] |

| LordClamFist Member 6 Posts 10/04 | Posted - Dec 30 2004 : 10:43AM To clean a minor fingerprint breath on the surface and wipe with a lens tissue or microfiber cloth (for cleaning glasses). CD Playright works quite well for dirty and discs and minor scratches. By far the best product for repairing minor to moderate scratches is Novus (WAY better than brasso). You can get Novus on ebay.
