Furniture polish vs. Walker ultra vivid on cd's


I have been using furniture polish on my cd's for a couple years now. I have been happy with the more analog sound it creates. Better focus, less harsh and such.

I never knew what the expensive products such as Walker ultra vivid and others would be like in comparison. I figured at 68 times more expensive the Walker type products have to be better.

Well, I finally bought some Walker ultra vivid and was eager to see what I've been missing the last couple years. My wife actually did the comparison with me. We did this using a cd cleaner to reclean the cd afterwards and did the comparison several times to verify our findings of the two products.

It was intersting, but my wife said it first that the Walker did not sound as good. She said it even before I had a chance to say it first that the female voice on one of the songs had a harshness. I agreed with the same findings. Simply, the Walker was more fatigueing with the digital brightness.

Now, I would have liked to of tried several of the other types of cd fluids during this same time, but I at least knew that the furniture polish over the last two years was not a waste of time.

I am curious if anyone has tried something that works good like furniture polish or did some type of comparisons.

When you whip the stuff off it's totally dry. I can never tell a treated disk to a non treated disk so there can really be no way to get it anywhere.

I would think the old english may be a good choice. I have researched before at the ingrediants and it all seems to be oil based.
I have been using ZYMOL(very good car polish) for about 2 years. apply it with microfiber lightly,(several times around the disc) and remove with Microfiber in the same manner. Then play the Disc once you have lightly buffed all the polish off, and you will be absolutly amazed at what you here.

Shine Ola is a pure cleaner made by Record Research Lab. Very useful for removing mold-release compound. I use it prior to treating discs with Jena Labs 3D-X, which I've found to be the best treatment out there--and I've tried and owned most of them.
