CD "Head" Cleaner Question

Hi,

I'd like to buy one of those CD cleaners (cleaning kits to clean the
laser beam) but I'm unsure what to look for or what brand is best, etc.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

you can try a can of compressed air available at computer stores - if it's just
dust it may help both the car CD and your burner. If it's cigarette smoke (I
have that problem) a little alcohol on the end of a lond q-tip has helped.

You can't clean Smoke Damages Laser Assembles as it gets onto parts
that you can't clean, get at.

Its still better to use a long cotton bud and leans cleaning
solution, I do this at work every day.

To much movement from a bast od Air could damage the Laser Lens
mounting for Focus & tracking.

I don't see how you people get 'to' the laser to clean it...do you just open
the CDRW tray? I've tried that and can't see inside good enough to *find*
the laser...all I see is gears and stuff...

Could you explain a little more on how to "get at the laser"?? I even tried
to disassemble a broken one and couldn't find how to get in to clean. Maybe
I'm retarded, but I don't think so!
