CD Deck problems
I have a 04 Max with a Bose system. Everything works fine except that my CD deck seems to be dirty. When I play a CD it will skip as if the CD is scratched. It does this with every CD so I know the problem is the deck.
I was thinking of using a regular CD deck cleaner to clean it, but I think I read somewhere that a regular deck cleaner should not be used to clean the Bose system. What do you guys recommend?

A cleaning cd has a very small brush attached to it with the bristle length being the same as the distance between the cd and laser, is it possible for the bristles to get caught in certain transport mechanisms?
Also I am not sure if the cleaning cd would ever work because in order for it to clean it needs to play a certain track, not sure if you can get to that track if the lens is dirty.

I am not saying it's true but it might be because of the way the cd changer transports the disks, am I way off base?

Would like to - I'm saving my coin to put in a double din CD/nav system, but that's probably six months away. Any other suggestions for cleaning the CD player in the meantime. It's starting to really get on my nerves!

Calc, you reasoning is on point. The small brush is the reason why using a regular CD cleaner will not work for cleaning the deck.
I found a product that is made specifically for car audio decks. It is made by Maxell - it is called - Maxell Auto CD- Cleaner.
I am yet to try the product. I will post the results once I get it and try it.
