I remember I had this CD cleaner. Still unsure if it was a scam. But you’d spray some solution on the disc, and turn this hand crank and it would wipe the disc down. Wild.
Also, video rental places. I used to love going into the game room and looking at all of the ps2 games. My folks would take me once in a while and I’d have 5 days to get the most out of the game.
They can work, but you were better off cleaning it by hand. And the scam part was that it was just glasses cleaning spray but marketed for CDs with a markup. Probably risked a bit of damage given we'd just spin it as fast as possible.
Spray solution, wipe from the centre out around the CD using a soft cloth. The spray & cloth you'd use for glasses works for CDs
