I've started having problems with my applications' CDs sometimes not auto-running and so I suspect some dust contamination of the drive. The drive is actually a DVD re-writer drive. Is there a cleaner disc on the market that's designed to clean specifically a DVD laser? (Clearly, the cleaner disc needs to work subtedly, so as not to damage the laser mechanism when it spins). In the shops, here in the UK, I've seen a number of cleaners for CD lasers but I've never seen one that's described as suitable for DVD lasers. Can anyone tell me whether such a product exists and, if so, what form it takes and by whom it's made? Do bear in mind that I'm hailing from the UK.

You are correct, there are many CD cleaners but never, ever use if for a DVD or your will ruin it.
There are DVD Cleaners on the market but it is kind of hard to find. Go to a Media Store that specializes in DVD and inquire about this. We have a DVD Cleaner and it is asian but it it multilingual.
