I regularly use rubbing alcohol to clean smears and fingerprints off the shiny side of most of my CDs. Can rubbing alcohol (used on either side) damage a CD?

No, it will not damage it.
Rubbing alcohol is actually a very good way to clean CDs because it air dries quickly.
Water and dish detergent is also effective as long as you let the water air dry instead of sun-dry or towel dry (which is bad.)

Yes, alcohol and plastic do not mix. The only thing you should be using on the CD's is distilled water.

no it wont, but if ur worried about it a microfibre (eye glasses wipe cloth) and a little but of windex would be gentler on your cds than straight rubbing alchahol.

Probobly not, but it has oils in it that may leave streaks and affect readability.
You want isopropyl alcohol, besides it's cheaper.

Use soft napkin with little water on it.
