Default Re: Cleaning video heads etc

I've got some machines that give trouble from time to time. They are ok after cleaning but aren't badly fouled [as described]. I do use Meths and a very clean cloth, being careful not to touch the head surface and rotating them by hand. It seems to work very well resulting in a clear picture without slippage but there's no obvious gunge involved and I'm no expert. Polishing doubtful DVD's [from the outside in] with Meths often seems to work as well. There's no difference whether if it's the clear or purple stuff in my limited experience.
