“The thin interior of a CD player may seem impossible to clean, but it can be done! Below are the steps you need to clean the exterior of your car’s CD player:
Power off your stereo system and remove any CD(s) from the player. Use a clean, soft bristle brush or microfiber towel to remove any dust from the area.With a can of compressed air, gently spray the compressed air to get rid of any remaining dust particles. This is preferred over water because it won’t ruin the electronics. Use a car dashboard cleaner and a clean microfiber towel* to wipe the buttons.
The best way to clean the interior of the CD player is to buy a specific cleaner CD. These CDs are specially equipped to brush the CD player’s interior and gently remove dust and debris.
