Cleaning? How Do You Do?
FFXIK:
I thought about using the silica packets in the UGC's but didn't know if it was worth investing in. It makes sense though. Moisture absorption reduces corrosion.
Pretty much all I use is a clean cloth for discs, although I am so OCD about them they rarely get dirty. 91% Iso or an pencil eraser. Stickers, uses Goo Gone and Iso.

They're DIRT cheap. Totally worth it IMO ;D

Brasso. Works great for that hard to get off grime. Isopropyl on the other hand.
1. 91% percent or above.
2. Do not cut it with water.
The 70% percent is already cut with 30% sterile water anyway. Cutting it 50% again, you may as well just use plain old filtered/boiled water. Isopropyl doesn't leave residue behind so cutting it is pointless. I mean a 32oz bottle of 91% is $1.50 at Wal-Mart so...
I realize that you probably posted that to show us how you clean your games. I just get irritated with these kind of things. *Sigh* I end this by deconstructing a 5 year old Youtube video. :-[

Agreed. No reason on the planet to dilute ISO, especially the weak-ass 30/70 mixture any further. In fact,
I won't even touch 30/70. 91%-up is all I'd ever bother with personally. Why make extra work for yourself?
