Yes, the original Shine Ola was a shoe polish, and has been out of production for probably over 50 years. The Shine Ola we are talking about is made by Record Research Lab and is the most effective and safe cleaner that I've used. Here's a little more info ... http://redtrumpet.com/accessories/item.php?item=22188&sid=1100599754 Best, Jack |
I thought I'd chime in and try to revive this one. I've tried Optrix and Walker Ultra Vivid. Most reviews I've seen seem to think the Walker products crushed Optrix but after extensive listening, I have to disagree. While Ultra Vivid initially sounds better and more powerful, Optrix makes the CD sound cleaner and more musical at least for me. I think I will try shine o-la next and see how that one compares to Optrix. |
The only fluid I have ever used on my CD's is L'Art du Son and it has provided the most dramatic improvement in sound since I had my CEC TL-1X modded by RAM. The sound is fuller, richer, with less of the digital nasties in the high end, with great upper treble xtension and purity, and deeper, tighter bass. This really is amazing stuff, in my experience. I was skeptical, but hearing is believing. Neal |
I have used shinola, which is very good, But Xtreme Liquid Resolution is better by a long shot. This is a somewhat new cleaner, and has a money back 30 day trial. Any one who has used Xtreme gold enhancer on their cables ect, can expect the same results from this cleaner. A little espensive but it treats 300 or more disc. This lifts a big veil from the sound. |
