Another thing that most people forget is the orginal disc, cleaning the orginal disc will give you a better backup.
I use an old t-shirt that is clean but has no fabric softner on it, just like cleaning your glasses, use your breath to moisten a section, then wiping from the center out, repeat until all the way around the disc. When there is the pizza, or wing sauce that just won't come off that way, I use just tap water, and allow to air dry.
FYI, I have tried Maxell with no success, I get more junk on the discs than on the orginal. In the begining I tried the cheap discs from Sam's Club, but found that they just don't hold up to the five night a week playing, and had to make new backups on better media, I now use Fuji, but have not used them long enough to know how they will hold up over the long run. Hope this helps.
