Problems with Optrix Spray

I noticed that some of my CDs treated with Optrix spray were looking cloudy. I thought maybe they had some excess Optrix (i.e. I did not wipe it off properly during the application) so I tried washing the Optrix off one of them, first with water and then with water and a little dishwashing liquid. The cloudiness was still there. I was finally able to buff the cloud off with Mapleshade Mikrosmooth. It was as though the Optrix had etched the surface of the CD.

Has anyone else here had this problem with Optrix?

I have since moved on to Auric Illuminator for my new CDs, but I have 10 or so CDs that are going to need a vigorous buffing with Mikrosmooth. (As I stated in an earlier thread, I use the tip of my index finger rather than Mapleshade's polish cloths since the latter scratch my CDs).

You might try Shine Ola.
Many people have had good success with it and it doe snot harm disks at all.

I have had no problems with Optrix. CDs look shiney and do sound a bit clearer. Maybe a bad mixture. Wouldn't use it anymore if I were you.

Had the same problem and it doesn't happen to all cd, strange as I can clean a bunch and one will show cloudy. I stoped using optrix and use Shine-O-la and no cloudy cd. Good Luck

I have a brand new bottle of Optrix, but have never tried it. I have seen other threads such as this where others commented on Oprix treated discs "clouding up" and / or having a hard time getting it off of the discs. Whether or not the clouding affects the sonics or longevity of the disc, i don't know. Sean
