CD Treatments-Which ones do you like?

Novus
Reviewed at www.enjoythemusic.com

small blue rings from Compact Dynamics (makers of Optrix) that adhere to play side of CD around spindle hole; excellent at reducing any tendency of CD to slip during play.

Perhaps the Meguiars could be washed off after use.
Getting a higher block error rate on scratched CDs, is probably worse than theoretical errors somewhere down the road?
The Meguiars is of course by design a product with a ultra mild abrasive.. thats why one would use it!!
Though thanks for the heads up on the base stock, and I think washing the CD with a dishwashing liquid after cleaning and polishing would be a good idea.
I won't give up a great product that works at a low price.

Theoretical errors? Ask anyone that ruined their CD's using Armour All whether or not it was theoretical. You may use what you wish, I merely wanted to inform you why it is not a safe product to use. I do not scratch my discs, so I have no need for an abrasive polish which may cause lazer scatter or that contain contents known to degrade the disc. I'm not looking for the cheap fix that isn't.

I'd also be concerned about using dishwashing detergent, as they do not fully rinse off and leave behind a film which raises the BLER and lazer scatter. Common active ingredients in "mild" household dishwashing detergents include sodium silicates, polyacetates, SD40 alcohol, some even contain bleach. I'm just trying to keep you from ruining your investment in music.

Here's the "world's best lense cleaner" - only $3.95/bottle:

I use MICRO by International Products Co. to clean CD's before the Novus treatment.
I quote "100% clean based on chemical analysis for residue which have a limit of detection of 10 ppm or less and which detect NO residue. Also X-ray activation analysis of surfaces cleaned with MICRO indicate that less than 1/3 of a monolayer of MICRO is left on pyrex after 4 rinses".
