Before someone tells me to go to Staples or just Google it, just know this; it would seem, from my limited experience with CD cleaners, that they end up scuffing up my discs, and making them dirtier than before. This makes me very angry, especially after spending X minutes and X dollars to make my discs "clean."
That being said, are there any products that you guys have tried that worked well on games? Links would be nice. And no, I don't buy the whole "lint free" cloth type thing either, since such a thing doesn't seem to exist. I don't need something that resurfaces it, just something that removes fingerprints/dust/other crap that has built up on the surface of my discs.

use those little cloths that are made for cleaning the lenses of Bifocals.

I have similar cloths, but I was looking to see if there are any alternatives, since those can scratch the disc if you get anything caught in them.

I just use a random Scotch disk cleaner I bought for a dollar at my local drug store. Works great, and it doesn't leave any marks or scratches on the disk afterwards.
Oh yeah, one more thing.. just make sure you don't buy some lame no name brand cleaner made in Indonesia or something. I bought this shitty disk cleaner at Big Lots! once and it left multiple circular hairline scratches all over the disk. Needless to say I was super pissed.

You mean those CD wipes that you pull out of the case like a tissue? Screw those. I remember wiping down some of my PS1 games with those pieces of crap and they left behind marks.
