Review: Record Research Lab Shine Ola CD\DVD\SACD cleaner Tweak

Ditto, it's the only thing I've ever tried that really works. Also, their cloth really doesn't scratch the surface. I'll never burn another disc without cleaning it first, it really makes more of a difference to pre-clean before burning it. We have several Shinolas around the studio. My friends at Diversity Records turned me on to it, they use it for all their CDR releases!

Having ruined CD's years ago following Sam Telligs suggestion to use Armor All, I'd decided to forget using anything petroleum based on my discs.

A friend dropped by with his latest discovered tweak, Shine Ola. He told me it was safe to use, was alcohol and oil free and wouldn't etch my discs, so I decided to give it a try. I cleaned a CD as he sat on the listening couch just smiling. Wow! I had to rush over and turn down the volume of the preamp. I'm not sure if Shine Ola is improving the dynamics that much or if it is just making the disc easier to read, but it is a noticeable increase in volume. Did anyone else notice this?

Anyway, Shine Ola really improves the sound of any disc, CD's, or SACD's. It even works on DVD's at home. Instead of returning to the rental outfit with unplayable DVD's, I can now clean them and watch the movie. Highly recommended.

I've been using the Shine-ola for a while now. I see a phone number on the label, do they have a net site?. I'd like to get a couple more of the cloths. Any other source for these? Thanks
