It is a specially-designed CD which has eight tiny tufts of what look like soft nylon bristles which the lens encounters and is gently and rapidly swiped by as you 'play' the track on the CD to which they are attached.

Immediately after performing the pretty quick cleaning operation I definitely noticed more 'bloom' to the sound from both speakers (Classe amp/CD with Logan electrostatics).

So, yes, the product was safe for me, does what it says, is well-priced and effective; I would recommend it.


Will not help with car stereos   December 1, 2001

I cannot help but wonder how this device helped two other people who used it on car stereos. Car CD players have a front loading mechanism, as opposed to a tray or top loading, and the instructions specifically say not to use it -- bacause this damages the brushes. If the brushes are out of alignment, as they should be after using the cleaner in the car stereo, the device will do nothing for your CD player. It helped a little with my CD-ROM, but I highly doubt it could ever solve the neverending issue of a dirty car CD player.
