In Reply to: RE: He lost me with the CD/Armor All tweak posted by Steve O on February 16, 2024 at 05:00:31
It did come off, with a towel and a lot of elbow grease.
The moral of the story, is don't do a tweak you can't undo, easily.

With a soft optical cloth suitable for lenses.
The tweak doesn't noticeably change the sound of the CD, but it polishes out small scratches that might otherwise cause glitches in the data stream.
I've had a few discs with skips over the years. Post-Armor-all, no more skippy -- even 20 years later.
I think the problem with this particular tweak was that the described application process could seriously microscratch the CD surface if the applicator or buffing pad wasn't immaculately clean or was made of a "hard" material. I don't think it was the armor all itself. I tried armor all on one disc, heard no difference and removed it using liquid laundry detergent. I recall Mr. Cheapskate recommending Dawn liquid dish soap.
The Armor All got cloudy after a while, and had to be buffed off. I thought it made a difference. I've tried a few other cleaners/polishers over the years, but wasn't impressed with some of them. I gave up after a while.
