About a year after Sam Tellig began recommending Armorall for CDs, Stereophile
published a letter to the Editor which said that
Armorall is very acidic. I don't know if it's true but they've been
backtracking on it ever since.
The coatings are physically delicate. I think I read that eyeglass cleaning
tissue (which deposits a layer of silicone) is
contra-indicated. Why risk it? Is there a benefit I don't know about?

I wonder what a silicone-based cleaner/polish can be used for. I mean
stuff called Mr Sheen which is a household cleaner. I use it for
tarting up lenses prior to sending them to the lucky recipient. It
provides a nice black finish. But would it hurt a coated glass surface
or produce unwelcome reflections or refractions?
Armorall (sic) is also pretty good for plastics. It will even tend to
blend out chips or scratches in Samsonite luggage!
