Anyone use CD tweaks

I was wondering about the effectiveness of products hyped to improved sound quality - i.e. products like Maple Shade's "Mikro Smooth" for polishing CDs and their "Optrix" surfactant product. You want to believe these claims, but sometimes they sound too good to be true. Anyone with any experience with these or similar CD enhancers??

Thanks in advance...

The last time I looked the Radio Shack Bulk Tape Eraser had been discontinued. That was some time ago. Fortunately, eBay is a good resource for the item.

One of my favs is three 1 inch strips of black plastic tape on the label side arranged like spokes of a wheel.

The color of marker that's most effective depends on the color of the CD label artwork. For example, Mercury Living Presence CDs (labels are Black and White) prefer Red marker on the outer edge and black on the inner edge. Most CDs prefer Green or Purple (Violet) on the outer edge and Black on the inner edge.
