Gruv Glide and CD's


Does anybody have any experience with using "Grov Glide" on Cd's. I found the stuff while I was purusing elusive discs web site. They mention that it is good for cleaning CD's and also performs a anti-static function. They state one application is good for a period of time and that it is stereophile recommended.

Thanks, Chuck

Dear Chuck,

I've used Gruv Glide faithfully on all of my records since 1981, with great results.

After reading your post I tried it on my CD's. I have a few that are duplicates. I treated one, played them both back and compared. The treated one did sound a tad better. What really improved was the quality "SHEEN" of the surface. I can't get any dirt or dust to stay on the CD surface, (must be the antistatic effect)

I'll keep experimenting and I will keep you posted.

I called Elusive Disc, and Music Direct. Both state it's excellent on CD's as well as records, therefore it should be perfectly safe.
I also agree with Bob bundus and lugnut. They are right on the money, as usual.
Hi Chuck,

I applied Gruv Glide to both sides of the CD. It works so well at removing static on records, and others have recommended it on CD's, so I tried it.

It is very inexpensive too. I did 250 CD's with 1 kit.

I have not done any type of scientific measure, but I believe there is a degree of improvement. The CD's look superb too. I noticed dust will not land on them if I accidentally leave a CD out of it's case. The dust falls away from the CD and actually forms a ring away from the edge and off the CD.

Hope this helps.
