Most manufacturers recommend just wiping the business side of the 
CD with a soft lint-free cloth.  I think they specifically recommend
that record cleaning solutions *not* be used.  This makes a lot of
sense, since you want to preserve the optical properties of the disc
surface, rather than its topographic features.  Something I think
I'll try is wiping them with the solution used to clean plastic
eyeglass lenses.  However, I haven't had any need so far to go
beyond routine care.  If you handle a CD carefully, like a good
camera lens (i.e., keep yer fingers off it), it should not need
cleaning with solvents.
