My Wharfedale frontloader started skipping on all my cd's. What could be
wrong? Will a head cleaner work? Does head cleaners usually work in
headunits or is it bull****?

I'll say it like this. A "head cleaner" (read: "Lens cleaner") now is
like putting a bandaid over a tumor. You should have used the lens
cleaner on a regular basis to prevent buildup of crap on your lens. Now
what you'll need to do is disassemble your unit, and use alcohol on a
q-tip to gently dissolve the crap off your lens. You can try a lens
cleaner CD at this point, but don't expect much, if anything.

Those lens cleaners don't work anyway. Unless you have enough crap on the
lens to completely block out the laser it own't matter. The laser focuses
past the dust so it doesn't see it. Kinda like the way the TV camera behing
a backstop at a baseball game focuses past the backstop so it seems to
disappear.

Stunning logic paul...then explain how my sunglasses still work when I'm
focusesing on something beyond the lens itself.

Because you're looking through a filter. BTW, that analogy came courtesy of
Alpine Tech, I just borrowed it, but it's still true. Haven't you ever
noticed that it's almost impossible to see the scratches in your sunglasses
when you aren't actually looking at the scratches?

Makes you wonder why opticians even bother polishing lenses then...

....this is rediculous.

Not sure. I know I can't see them on my work shades unless they're HUGE and
even those are blurry at best.
