Gruv Glide and CD's

Does anybody have any experience with using "Grov Glide" on Cd's. I found the stuff while I was purusing elusive discs web site. They mention that it is good for cleaning CD's and also performs a anti-static function. They state one application is good for a period of time and that it is stereophile recommended.

Thanks, Chuck

They were refering to using the "gruv glide" on the data side of the cd.

It may work for anti-static but groovy-glid is also a lubricant to help the stylus ease through the grooves more smoothly.
I agree with Bob,get the Endust.You dont need the lubricant,only antistatic.G.G. is ~$25 a can,Endust ~$3-4 at most in some places like wal-mart.

My understanding of Grove Glide is that is is a lubricant for vinyl. This is why I asked the question about using it on Cd's. I have a concern about using a lubricant, dry or not, on the data side of a CD. But, who knows, maybe I am missing something here so I thought I would ask. Thanks for your responses.

I wouldnt use a lubricant on CD's.Nothing touches the CD that has to be lubricated.Might make a mess in there also over time.
