Summary: 3 Stars
I don't know why they don't have any good directions explaining how this things works, and I was initially confused about what to do. Track 2 has a bunch of little brushes on it, so I was wondering why the package said that track 3 was the cleaning track. The "on disc" (why is that in quotes?) directions are basically one long advertisement for Scotch, so don't bother with those.
So, to use the cleaner, all you do is play track 1 for a couple of seconds, then skip ahead to track 3. The cleaning is done when the head searches from track 1 to track 3, and has to move past the track 2 brushes. If you try to play track 2, it will play until you reach the brushes, at which point, the drive will keep trying to read the non-existent data where the brushes are located.
I have a drive that is failing, although I don't really know why, as I have not used it that much (I have had the drive for a couple of years now), so I thought that the head must be dirty. Cleaning the drive with this thing didn't seem to help anything. I would guess the head got cleaned as it was supposed to be, but it didn't seem to improve my data access speed, or the skipping, or any of other things that the stupid "on disc" instructions said it would. Don't listen to those directions, by the way, unless you like being hit over the head by Scotch.
