cleaning a cd player

[Tiggeroo]

is there a way to do this. My cd player in my car sometimes doesn't play certain cd's. It's a nice player and I hate to think it's on it's way out. Is there a way to clean it to see if this is the problem. The problems are all with burned cd's. I've been burning and playing cd's in it since I had it so this is new. If it is the laser is there a way to fix it?
