Favorite CD treatment Products

I kind of doubt they examined the CDs they treated during the review. Why would they? Who would have thought the micro fiber cloth would scratch a freakin CD? Hel-looo!

I just treated 5 discs this evening with no scratches. When I wipe, I use one side of the cloth to pick up most of the liquid, then the other side to dry the disc. I don't use much pressure, just light pressure under strong light so I can watch as the liquid is absorbed and the disc gets polished.
I did notice in the past I could scratch a disc easily by using too much pressure or by using a crease, or fold in the cloth.

Here's a very unflattering "review" of this and similar products:

I have used Auric Illuminator in the past and do not detect any enhancement or improvement.  But, if others do, that's fine.

Happy New Year!

yes there are great products to keep our shiny, silver discs in tact.
I am not looking for enhanced performance, as much as, protecting my CD/SACD collection.

Folks,
Cotton cloth.
Regardless of the CD cleaning/polishing methods, I've found the best method is to use the cotton makeup balls available at any pharmacy store. Use and dispose. NEVER any scratches. Cheap.
Happy listening.
