It works like magic. Once all of the residue is gone, you'll want to wipe over the spot with some alcohol to remove all of the WD-40 and then you'll have a completely clean surface.

It's available at Wal-Mart & many hardware stores. Use it only on the label side. I've not tried it on the data/music side, but I don't recommend it. I've used ''GooGone" for removing glue, sticky tape residue, etc. for several months & I just love it. Has dozens of other uses too!

My computer is not reading the CD now. Is there any possibility of cleaning the Acetone marks?

I love this method because its so easy. Just look under your sink, get the pledge and spray your CD with it. Dry with a cloth and then just let it air-dry for a half hour... viola!

I'd be a little leery of the baby shampoo thing. I work at a radio station, and I use standard Isopropyl Alcohol to clean everything - CD's; computer monitors, mice, and keyboards; The Mixing Boards; microphones; headphones, etc. It's also great for disinfecting telephone receivers and counter-tops. (And if you have a vinyl collection, it can be used to clean that, too!) I agree with the method for cleaning the CD’s – ALWAYS start at the center and wipe towards the outer edge.

Rub it carefully around the CD or DVD and add water a little at a time. The silica in the toothpaste will fill in the scratches. When all the toothpaste is washed away, dry the CD or DVD with a soft cloth wiping from the center to the outer edge.
