Please read the details befoe answering.If the government controls health care they will also be granted full access to your medical records.

I've used plain dish soap and a soft cloth, wipe it on then wash it off, worked every time. Hold the disc up to a light, if there is any light shining through (pinpoints) than the disc is ruined.
