I use this stuff, same stuff I clean my TV with.

Works well.

But I would love a cheeky little AP10, AP20 sort of amp for a bedroom setup...

I recently bought a second hand CD which skipped - scratches which I managed to polish out with Brasso (I would have preferred Silvo, as I understand that it has finer abrasive). CD now plays fine.

Windolene and a microfibre cloth, if really bad I run them under the cold tap using some washing up liquid and then press dry on a paper towel.

Only if they skip and/or have visible fingerprints on them. I use some spray that's been knocking round for years, in an unmarked white bottle.
