Antistatic gun for CDs?

Quick story...My CDP has been having disk errors or reading "NO DISK" while the CD is in the tray. This is after I've wiped all my disks with a soft cloth and repositioned the disk.
So now I'm thinking I'll have to clean the lens, but first I tried using my Zerostat gun on the CD...and it plays, in fact every disc plays.
Also, the CD sounds better; it's more open and with more detail.
In the archives I read about rubbing CDs with dryer sheets to prevent static, so I ask all you experts, is there scientific evidence to explain better performance and sound from a CDP after using the Zerostat?

That's a good point regarding the clear layer holding a static charge, Geoffkait, but getting back to my original post; a static charge must have some influence on the lens or disc drive.
I'm not the only one here who notices better performance.
Any other thoughts?
