Default CD Cleaner?

Hi guys,

Recently my in car Pioneer has started skipping tracks a lot more frequently. CD was only made few weeks ago too no scratches on it yet some tracks it jumps around on and doesn't settle. Doing it on all my CDs but doesn't do it when I stream audio off bluetooth for obvious reasons. Is it safe to use a CD cleaner such as this:

Any other hints or tips welcome also.

Cheers!

It might not work as you will probably find it will just spit the cd out again. Could be worth a try though! If it doesn't, just unscrew the lid and clean the lens by hand.

Does it do it only when the car is moving? If so could be something up with the anti vibration mounts.

Does it even stationary mate and its always the same tracks it doesn't like. I could play one song 100 times and it would be spot on but go to a track it don't like and it will always jump about and hiccup. I've got some other CD's knocking about I may try them and put it down to a dodgy burn or something. Don't fancy sticking Ł4 worth of CD cleaner crap into a Ł300 unit anyway!
