sorry if this has been posted before, I did quite a few searches and couldn't bring up anything.
I have a few disc games (Klonoa 2, RAD, Culdcept, etc) that have fingerprint marks on them, and I'd like to get them off. I know most material will scratch these discs, so I'm wondering what ppl have used to clean off marks on their disc games. I'm thinking a lint-free cloth might do it, but I'm just not sure.
so how does everyone here keep their disc games clean, and where do you get the stuff to do it?
thanks in advance!

I have used dish soap and warm water. Try it out on a cd-r.

Soap and warm water always works for me. Also I'm not sure where I read this but never clean in a circular pattern, always clean outward radiating from the center.

Its in the Gamecube instruction booklet and also has been mentioned here on varioustopics different times.

It's not the GC booklet. It's on almost anything ever telling you how to clean a CD.

I knew someone in high school who claimed that he would clean his CDs in the toilet. He would put a CD in there and flush and repeat for every CD he wanted to clean... one of the most fucking bizarre things I've ever heard.
Needless to say, NOT worth attempting.

It also helps to rub the CD over any open wounds after you've put salt on it.

Use a lense cleaning cloth made for cameras and stuff. Works like a charm and doesn't scratch.
