Don't get a lens cleaner with some kind of liquid etc. to put on it, just use one like the Philips one which is a dry cleaner which has two very fine brushes on the bottom of a CD which clean the lens while the CD is spinning. Hope this helps.	Guest (0)

If its really bad set cdplayer to intro play track 1 and 14 for a while. The lense only hits the brushes when its seeking between tracks. Avoid the cheap cleaners you don't want to have to remove bits of the brush from around the lense.	Guest (0)
