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.

Not sure what you mean by the comment that Shine Ola is a cleaner rather than a clarifier. Yes, it cleans.
It also has a positive effect on the sound presentation according to most who use it.
Maybe I don't understand the terms.

Thanks for "clarifying" :)
I have read where Shine Ola alegedly reduces reading errors. It does seem to be a clean solution and improves the overall audio and video presentations IMHO.
Brian is pretty obsessive about getting his solutions pure (Shine Ola and RRL LP cleaner) and not leaving residue.
