Would You Like to Make Your CD's Sound Better

I have spent many hours trying different Tweaks..Read I have 2 ion guns One a ZERO STAT AND THE OTHER A MAPLE SHADE ALSO FOR REMOVING STATIC. But the best that I have found is CHEAP and is Awesome.... Take any cd and listen to it and then take a dryer sheet from the laundry room and wipe it accross the label several times of the cd and listen to what happens ??
1rst. The cd will be more spacious and soundstage will be better
2nd. everything will be much smoother, and harshness will dissapear .and detail is awesome try it and let me know what you think. Itworks for me........Thanks.. Jesse

I sure hate this audio hobby sometimes.

yea, just got back from the laundry room, 'gave the Guy Fletcher CD I'm listening to the "treatment".

I could swear it sounds different/better. I know it really doesn't, but I could swear it does. I absolutely hate this pseudo magic fake science crap...but here I am, again.

'guess I'd better get the black magic marker out and give this CD the edge treatment as well.

Ah, it just started snowing outdoors...stereo sounds even better now.

Bedini handheld clarifier.

You give it a 20sec spin, and it gets rid of sonic gunk instantly, even on brand new cd's. Have been using this for 10 years, feels like I upgraded cables every time.

An easy way to improve any CD is to clean and improve reflectivity. I use a high-grade Groit best-of-show car wax, one drop is all you need, spread and buff, and you’re done. There is such an improvement you will not believe it. All you have heard is just shake their heads, dynamics, body, and tone all come forth. I’ve not played an uncleaned CD in many many years, I do try sometimes so I will clean a CD with soap and water to wash off the wax, play it and it sounds good, but nothing like it sounds before. No need to buy audiophile-overpriced liquids. $20.00 or so and you have enough for 100’s of CDs. I’ve taken some of mine to audio shows and played them and people say wow that sounds good, who mastered that I own it and I never heard it sound that good. CDs were turned on over the past several years, from being used as sources in the SOTA system to they sound like crap now. I guess all the reviewers had crap for ears back then. I am a vinyl guy and I have zero issues with CDs if mastered well like any source and cleaned with my wax.

What do you use to buff with and in which direction -- in a circle or across the disk? 

How often do disks need this treatment?

Finally, does this wax have a strong scent?
