Spay for CD

over 25 years ago I bought a box of 100 AQ packets of CD shine.   Well I STILL have about 20 of the packets. Being cheap I put a packet into a small soft cotton cloth, and use that for months and months to slippery up the CDs. Still is good and happy with results.   Another ten years the supply should be used up. Then I guess I will have to find something new.    Sadly I wasted a lot of it even polishing the CD cases etc.    Even tried it on LPs.. If only I would have bought TWO BOXES..

It wasn’t meant to.   BUT- given that everything in the universe(including photons), either consists of or has(depending on your favorite theory), an electromagnetic field, none should be able to unequivocally state, that magnetism would/could not affect the typical CDP’s operation, in some audible way. No one has all the answers!

@hifiman5 -  I used to use Rain-X, to repair unplayable/buggered up DVDs, when rented from the video store.   Usually worked great!

>>>>Well, actually not everything in the universe has an electromagnetic field. Such as acoustic waves. But more to the point, magnetism doesn’t. Magnetism is measured in Gauss. I.e., magnetic flux density. Electromagnetic fields and waves are measured in something else. Volts/m or Power, EIRP, or whatever. One can build a convincing theory for either thing - that magnetizing the CD can’t possibly work or that it could work. This is one of those situations where the ears decide. You are the decider.
