Take off the bulk with a soft cloth and something flat but not
sharp. Then rub off the rest using a clean part of the cloth.
Remembering, of course, to rub only in a radial direction (that is,
in a line between the center of the disc and the edge) and not
concentrically, for that, as we all know, is how CD read errors are
generated.


The OP didn't state just on which side of the disk the wax melted.  It
makes a difference.  If the label side, one must be VERY careful with
any kinds of solvents/scratches.  The shiny side is a little more
forgiving, as it has thicker protection...although optical clarity is
of course imperative.

Reading the posts is not your forte ??

Mr. Phool...while I might have missed something in the two-sentence OP quoted above, I don't think so. Perhaps you'd like to clarify as opposed to....?

Perhaps you read the OP's mind and 'know' on which side he spilled the wax.
