Best way to clean my old CD’s

Isopropyl as above works well.

i had ordered a big bottle of a commercial CD cleaner from Audio Advisor several years ago.  The label, which contained the product name and ingredients, came off a long time ago but I still use the product-a small spray is adequate.  I’ve also used the cleaning spray that eye shops sell for glasses.

  What you want to avoid is some kind of soap like hand soap or dishwashing soap, as they will leave a residue on the disc.  This residue can be removed but it’s time consuming 

@rbrowne , I’ve used Brillianize for over 40 years. I started with my plexiglass aquariums , then my motorcycles especially the windshield on my bagger. Today I use it on my big screen tv and my lap top screen. I have a half gallon of it now. I wasn’t sure if it would be too much. I have separate microfiber cloths for my records , I can you those for my CD’s. Thanks for sharing, Mike B. 

  Thank you all for the input. I can play with alcohol and distilled water. FWIT I stopped using Windex and went to the aerosol Spray Away as both my cars have polarized window tint and the glass shop said not to use Windex as the ammonia will damage the tint material. However I still use Windex on the house windows , it’s nice to know that it won’t eat the CD’s. Regards, Mike B. 

I have been using Shine Ola from MOFI. Not any issues.

Thanks to the guys that mentioned commercial cleaners too, I’ll check them out.
