I really question the need to clean CDs.

I agree with you. However my personal experience with CD rot did leave my faith in the robustness of CD's slightly shaken. (CD rot is pitting damage occuring on the silver CD layer of a badly manufactured disc which corrodes from the inside over ten years (below the lacquer surface)

What struck me as very odd was that the affected CD still played without skipping but with audible distorting scratchy noise (no skips)...so much for error correction! I must emphasize that this was one CD out of thousands - so this is by no means indicative of CD's in general. However, I was expecting a bad CD to NOT play at all!!!

Shineola was a brand of shoe polish. I don't know if they make it any more. It was brown, and had the consistency of you know what.

Do people who have skipping CDs clean them a lot, or does cleaning CDs a lot cause them to skip?

Shine-Ola made resulted in clearer definition, and more extension. Bass and mids were less muddy. Overall, it made the music appear to be slightly louder, although the volume had not been touched.
