Can anyone tell me about CD demagnatizers?

Do they make a difference? If so what sort of difference do they make? Are they worth paying say $150 for?

Thanks,

KF

I agree Gregm and Micheal. This may be what Sean experienced with the Bedini. Also CD liquid treatments should last a year or more. Not 15 minutes.

Kenl, the gel may wear off over time but not from just one removal.
My guess is that Auric should be more durable than Armor All, Rainex, Novus, etc. which are more of a liquid than a coating.
Sean and others have measured higher error rates reading CD's with the paint around the edge and is not recommended anymore.
