CD Treatments-Which ones do you like?

The major problem with Meguiars is that it uses a petroleum base with its' mild abrasion product. The petroleum base over time breaks down the polycarbonate material within the disc and leaves you with a disc with higher block error rate.

Have any of you fallen for the Armour-All tweak on digital discs? How many of you had unplayable CD's later? I did. Can't we all learn fromn the past?

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.

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.
