Best stuff I've found for cleaning CD's
It ain't boutique but dang, it's the best stuff I've found, bests all the "designer" stuff I've tried since the '80's.

Follow Ups:
is a cleaner / polish supposed to have a sound?
Isn't it used to clean / polish the CD for the laser to read the "bits" without having to add error correction? After "processing" the output should be as close to the original recording as electronically possible.
Your asking how does a window look when viewing through it into your garden. The cleaner the window, the closer you can "see" the garden.
Now if yo're asking how does "Windex" look like, well it is a blueish fluid.
Brillianize has no sound.

...which are liquid and work by facillitating and improving the optical reading of the data.
Just like cleaners.
Each has its own sonic signature.
You can do a search of Quint's posts going back a few years for examples.
Here is a post discussing a few:
then there is no "sonic signiture" I can detect and I've been a "critical listener" for a very very very long time.

And will it cause long term damage, down the road, like Armor All?

In my experience, most cleaners/polishers have a sonic signature.

I'm currently using Shine Ola and Xtreme AV's Liquid Resolution (cleaner only), and they work well, but I'm curious about this stuff. Any potential long-term detrimental effects?
going on 20+ years and My cd's are still just fine. no ill effects, no discoloration, no cracking (hairline or otherwise), no grazings.

I suspect there are more than a few common products that are able to garner a much higher price when marketed with more fanfare and technobabble as audio products.
found some real good prices here!
I found listed on their website two places in my town that supposedly stock it so I am going to try and get some locally, so I don't have to pay shipping costs. If not, your recommended Crawford Tool does seem to have a lower price - thanks for the heads up on this, I just used up my bottle of L'Art du Son.
It's amazing how sensitive the sense of smell can be. I had been using Marigos clear / polish. I found Briallianize quite accidentally. My company at the time was using Kleenmaster Brillianize to clean and polish our plexiglass showcases during a trade show. I "borrowed" a bottle and took it home. It had a very distinct aroma. Damned if it wasn't the exact same smell the Marigo had. Marigo was something in the way of $40 per 2 oz. bottle (in 1980's dollars). I sincerly believe Marigo was buying large containers of the fluid and "repackaging" it under their own name (as they did with many other products... they had a translucent green marker for CD'd edge tratment, where is was an off the shelf marker from Japan). Doesn't take a rocket scientist or chemist to do this...just a clever marketer, and a gullible uneducated buyer.
Back when I first tried Brillianize it was $5.95 for an 8 oz. bottle.
Still a bargain... also they have their own micro fiber cloths which are excellent as well.
