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

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.

I don't see how any coating will improve readability. Unless it helps laser better see differences in reflectivity.
