The polycarbonate layer is not completely transparent to the CD laser. It's only 90%. Whereas optical glass is 97% or higher. That's why some Japanese CDs sound so fabulous, SHM CDs. Super High-performance Materials. They use optical glass for the clear layer. Now, image there's a liquid spray treatment that makes the clear layer behave like optical glass. That would be news, right?

You almost proposed something that could be quantified in its effect on the signal reflected back to the receiver and, hence, the recovered data. I am sure a few back of the envelope calculations would show us if this is plausible or specious.
