I got a product similar to this called trackmate.  It contained a bottle 
of "stuff" that had a felt tip to spead the liquid with.  It also
came with some software that would analyze the drive and recommend
a cleaning procedure; none, short or long.

The problem is that the "disk" would ALWAYS jam in the drive which
would require disassembly of the Mac to get it out.  Has anyone
also had this problem?  It has happened on several macs.  Would
the 800K init help this problem?
