has anyone tried ultrabit platinum on their cds

WARNING. RE "Elizabeths" comments above!!
Mequiars Scratch X will SCRATCH the surface it is used on. I have used it in automotive polishing.
It works to remove obvious scratches by its abrasive(polishing) action. In the automotive business it is called a polishing compound-all of which work by abrasive action. It is NOT similar to Ultrabit Platinum-which is not an abrasive.
I enjoy this forum & appreciate everyones right to their opinion and have nothing against Elizabeth and I'm not questioning her enjoyment of the product; however, as always, not everyone's suggestion is appropriate. The swirl marks resulting from a "polishing compound will NOT help the laser read the disc. We're talking apples & oranges.
Happy listening as always. pete

I’ve been using Ultrabit religiously for about six months now. The blue velvet pouch (nice WAF touch) supplied with Ultrabit is a permanent fixture on my home office desk. What really convinced me this stuff was magic was when I dragged out CD’s that were banished to “really bad sound quality” shelf on my Boltz CD rack. For example, the CD by the Subdudes… titled “Street Symphony”… is IMHO absolutely great rock & roll. Maybe I got a “bad copy”, but the sound quality wasn’t good. I took it out and hit it a couple of times with the Ultrabit… and WOW.

Not for that price,forget it,cd clarity from stereo dave is more then good enough.

Talking about price
--Ultrabit Platinum is an utter "SteaL".
It improves CD sound of my Lexicon RT-20 by the equivalent of a component upgrade. It is like having an additional exquisite AC power filter in my system(Spectral/MIT). As my Russian friends say "cheap like Borscht". Perhaps low resolution systems may not benefit,that I just don't know; but for high resolution systems-and particularly large dynamic orchestral works-it really clarifies much of the complex intense dynamic passages which certainly increases my enjoyment significantly. Cheers.

Psacanli- That's the biggest benefit that I noticed with the UBP: Much better focus between voices(instrument or vocal). Further- Many of the DVDs that I rent from the local video place are quite damaged, and lock up, go mosaic or skip to the next chapter(especially after they subject it to their "disc repair machine"). After applying UBP, 98% of them play just fine, and the picture quality improves as well. I hate having to use it that way, but it does save me a trip back to the store. The stuff is MOST DEFINATELY an effective way to greatly improve our digital source material. As you mentioned: The only caveat would be that the rest of one's system needs to be resolving to start with.
