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...

I use Pledge Anti-Static to clean my CDs. My results are pretty much what others have said regarding other cleaning/shining products. Very effective and cheap. A bottle cost me about $3 or so, and I've cleaned about 200 or so CDs with less than half the bottle.

Its the spray version (not aerosol) advertised to use with electronics.

Pledge AntiStatic works great for CDs. The non-aerosol one that's safe for electronics. Far cheaper than any audiophile brand, and far better than anything I've used. For about $5, if it doesn't work as well, you can still use it for other stuff.

Spray a little on the disc, wipe it with a microfiber cloth, then buff with a dry microfiber cloth.
