Hi Rodagent:
Interesting premise that too high a reflectivity will lead to excessive brightness; any weblinks where I can read more about this? I wonder if the same thing applies to various blank CDR media?
Both the Optrix and isopropyl alcohol sound very transparent to me, but the Optrix seemed to tilt my system into very distracting brightness (it contains optically active surfacants).
One thing that I've found is after a gentle dish soap and warm water rinse, I rinse the CD under a good amount of tap water, then run a gentle stream of water off the CD at an angle. The water runs off of the clean disc without beading, so you don't need to pat it dry with anything. The label side and edges still need to be wiped dry, but you can really get a pristine finish using this technique.
