After viewing another thread on alternative uses of Zaino, I figured I would have to give it a try.
I awoke early one morning and decided it was time.
After browsing on the CD boards and the Zaino boards and after waiting for over 6-8 weeks, my CD from the Columbia House CD club finally came. I was one of the original pre-orders BTW. I ordered my copy of Britney Spears "In the Zone" (along with 12 other CD's). I consider myself one of the lucky ones who got the CD at MSRP. Damn ripoff artists at Columbia tried to get me to pay .02 cents but I held out and with help from the members of the CD websites (all the good guys over at "the House of Columbia"), I got it for .01 cent!!!
Here is the pic of "my baby" right after I removed the plastic protective cover (very hard to do BTW.....thanks to SeeDeeBoi for the advice and tutorial on the proper cellophane removal procedures!!).
PLEASE don't post here until I can get all of the pics up in order for the sake of continuity. Thanks!
I first washed with Dawn liquid to make sure I removed all traces of "Postal Rail Dust" and fingerprints.
I then did the claybar. I know this is controversial on a BRAND NEW CD, but I figured that it was a worth while step considering all I have seen on the websites.
I then allowed the Z5 to dry. Notice the thin layer applied in one direction (top to bottom) and not in a circular motion. On CDtopia, there are those that recommend using a Porter Cable random orbital CD buffer for this step, but mine, unfortunately is in the shop.
