Good Product or Nonsense?

http://store.acousticsounds.com/d/16871/Optrix-Optrix_CD_Spray-CD_Care
A friend loaned me his CD cleaner. I have a photo to upload but there seems no accommodation for this.
'OPTRIX" is the name. Label says it is a clarifier, cleanser for CDs and also stops "Skipping". Cures cancer?
Comments from those who have used this please?

Two products not to use:
Optrix- it does cause many CD’s not to be readable months later.

Essence of Music does scratch up the CD’s.
David Pritchard

Not to call David out but I am wondering if the people using the Essence of Music who stated it scratches CD’s returned it for a Refund since there is a 30 Day Satisfaction Guarantee.

I just finished 60 CD’s this last Weekend and I saw no sign of any Scratching using it. I was very impressed with the Product BTW..

Maybe they replaced the crappy clothes with better ones. It’s about time, this is what, four years later? Furthermore, if you can hear an improvement you’re a better man than I am, Gunga Din.

ECO 3’ by Nordost on the label side of my rental disks.

This leads me back to my question of applying a coating to the top and bottom of a disc to prevent static buildup while spinning in a transport. The Nordost and Auric make this claim.
I believe lens cleaner and diluted alcohol products make the disc easier to read and more accurate, but i doubt they would be effective in preventing stray reflections and static on a spinning disc.

Any thoughts or experiences regarding efficacy of a single-use spray vs. the products that apply a semi-permanent coating? These products are similar to applying wax to a car.

Why would a gold CD have haze, and a standard one not? I assume the polycarbonate coating is the same on both types of CD's. Maybe the haze is more noticeable on the gold one because of the color?
