A friend loaned me his CD cleaner. I have a photo to upload but there seems no accommodation for this.
'OPTRIX" is the name. Label says it is a clarifier, cleanser for CDs and also stops "Skipping". Cures cancer?
Comments from those who have used this please?

No idea if that product works, there are a lot of snake oil cleaning products. But LAST offers a CD cleaner which is pretty popular. And they have a good track record with their vinyl preservative. https://thelastfactory.com/product/last-cd-dvd-cleaner-treatment/ |
Has anybody tried LAST for CDs? https://thelastfactory.com/product/last-cd-dvd-cleaner-treatment/ Auric Illuminator seems to offer more benefits for SQ improvement than other formulas; more focused and less reflections from the laser. Is this why both sides of the disc need to be coated? |
@oregonpapa I use eyeglass lens cleaner and it works well for dust, smudges. Can't say that I've heard an increase in SQ. It's not a conditioner as other products claim to be; the coating prevents stray reflections which results in increased focus and also stops static buildup. No first hand experience, I'm only quoting what's on the websites. |
If using alcohol to clean CDs, I believe it should be highly diluted, as in lens cleaner. And I would worry about preserving the polycarbonate coating if using Windex... the S.C. Johnson website lists Windex's ingredients as water, 2-hexoxyethanol, isopropanolamine, sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, lauramine oxide, ammonium hydroxide, fragrance, and Liquitint sky blue dye. I'm not a chemist, so I don't know for sure. In any event, what is the consensus with using cleaner/clarifiers on the top (label) side of the disc? |
ECO 3’ by Nordost on the label side of my rental disks. This leads me back to my question of applying a coating to the top and bottom of a disc to prevent static buildup while spinning in a transport. The Nordost and Auric make this claim. I believe lens cleaner and diluted alcohol products make the disc easier to read and more accurate, but i doubt they would be effective in preventing stray reflections and static on a spinning disc. Any thoughts or experiences regarding efficacy of a single-use spray vs. the products that apply a semi-permanent coating? These products are similar to applying wax to a car. |
