[Rant] I am too dumb to be left alive. I just tried to clean a CD with Isopropyl Alcohol...

It waited 31 years just for me to do this.

Oof, very sorry to hear that! What CD was it?
Pretty popular and widely available CD (Alphaville - First Harvest): https://www.discogs.com/release/317952-Alphaville-First-Harvest-1984-92
So nothing too special, but still...
It's the sense of loss, an item you enjoy that's survived all this time. I've been there, I'm sorry that happened, so we all learn, what's a better cleaning agent for CDs? I'd probably try the type of Windex with vinegar in it, but now I'm questioning that!
I usually use this display cleaning foam:
It never caused any damages and it's great at removing fingerprints, but not much more than fingerprints.
Oh good to know, I'll keep an eye out for that! Or something like it at least!
