Anybody ever clean their stock head unit cd player?

[Squishymedic]

My cds have been getting increasingly skippy lately. A stereo shop guy in passing said to stick that canned air in the slot,,but isn't there a door that needs to be opened?

Any help would be appreciated.

Peace & Love,

Squishy

I would be interested to hear this as well, since my cd player has been skipping A LOT lately...

There are different way to clean the CD player.
For one, you can use a Laser-cleaning disc. It's basically a disc with tiny bristles on the back that cleans the laser lens while it "plays."

As for the suggestion by your stereo shop guy, you can remove the radio bezel/faceplate and spray..
but it seems the mechanism that takes/ejects the discs is a closed mechanism. It takes/ejects discs by rolling two bars together..
Here's an old pic of when I was fixing the CD player, don't mind the white annotation.. but look to the right half of the pic and you'll see the grey bar.

Was it hassle free? That same mush said NEVER to use those.
