Another question while I'm here

What is the best media for backing up PS2 games....the thing is I backed up Spyro last week ( using white top no brand disc but they were actually yellow on top ) and it played flawlessly until yesterday, when I had problems trying to get it to load...the browser screen was just coming on....I thought my mod was knackered...anyway after about 30 mins of trying to get it to load up, I took the game out of the ps2 and with a fine cloth, I polished it....I then put it back into the ps2, the browser screen came on for about a second or 2, then the game started as normal...I now have to do this with the game every time I load it....I then decided to copy spyro again onto a different media ( this time I used bulkpaq light green top / light purple bottom ) and it booted up no problems, no browser screen just came straight on.....my question is what media is the best to use and why after a week does a backup game decide it doesn't want to work anymore unless you clean it with a cloth first....I know it had a few scratches on ( I think this is due to the ps2 when the disc is spinning around inside as the tiny marks are round in size ), but can anyone explain this.....will my second backup, which also plays flawlessly ( even better than the first as it comes straight on and no browser screen )also go the same way as my first copy, and I will be back to cleaning the game every time I use it

Cheers JohnJohn
