Description
We are very pleased and proud to report that on January 5, 2021 we celebrated our 23rd year of selling on eBay! Please check our 23 years of eBay feedback. Thanks to you for your continuing support.THIS AUCTION IS FOR ONE 35 ml CONTAINER of MIKROSMOOTH CD/DVD and VIDEO GAME DISC TREATMENT by MAPLESHADE. PLEASE READ ON FOR MORE DETAILS. THIS SMALL CONTAINER IS ALL YOU NEED TO TREAT ABOUT 275 DISCS!
Each container also comes with 3 reusable special applicator pads as well as complete instructions from Mapleshade for use.
I. PERFORMANCE AND DESIGN
Using the latest microparticle technology developed for modern high precision optics, MAPLESHADE has formulated an optical polishing fluid for CDs, DVDs, CD-ROMs, game CDs and CD-Rs.
It is surprisingly effective in:
•
Removing the muddy sound and digital harshness caused by the optical jitter of CD and DVD playing surfaces;
•
Sharpening the image edges and intensifying the colors of DVD videos; and
•
Making scuffed and unreadable CD-ROMs and game CDs readable again.
The physics are simple: a mass-produced CD or DVD, though it looks smooth, has substantial microscopic roughness at the surface being read by the CD/DVD player's laser beam. That micro-roughness causes audible jitter in the digital music data stream. Our Mikro-Smooth fluid uses highly uniform particles of two ten-millionths of an inch far finer than conventional polishes to significantly smooth the playing surface's micro-roughness.
The effect you hear is very similar to the effect of a good jitter-reducing processor: from the lowest bass to the highest treble, the attack of musical notes and their harmonic detail is cleaner; the sustain of piano notes and cymbals is noticeably longer; and the treble edginess of most CDs is considerably ameliorated.
The polishing treatment, which takes about 30 seconds, is permanent. It does not need to be repeated unless the disc gets scuffed.
Most discs (CDs, DVDs, CD-ROMs, game CDs, CD-Rs) that are unreadable due to scuffing as opposed to deep gouges can be restored with Mikro-Smooth. However, polishing out scuffs may require more than the 30 seconds needed for good sound and sharper images on new discs.
Because Mikro-Smooth contains only ultra-fine, completely inert particles and distilled water, it cannot cause either short-term or long-term damage to a CD.
II. APPLICATION TIPS
•
Apply one drop of Mikro-Smooth to the CD/DVD playing surface. Using the enclosed special pad, polish entire surface vigorously (with a circular motion) for at least 30 seconds, then rinse off the residue under the tap. Dry by patting with tissue or soft, clean towel. The good effect is permanent.
•
If the polishing pad gets dirty or gets too clogged with polish, it can be rinsed in water.
Skeptical? It's physics, not voodoo. A CD is just a mass produced hunk of plastic. Under a microscope the surface is rough the hills and valleys bend the laser beam reading the music data. When the beam is bent, each data bit is read too early or too late. That causes jitter. Jitter causes harsh, muddy sound. The solution is to flatten that roughness using our Mikro-Smooth sub-microscopic ceramic polishing particles (two ten-millionths of an inch, far finer than silver or auto polish).
A bottle makes 275 CDs or DVDs sound a whole lot better at 7 cents per. One polishing lasts forever. Unplayable scuffed discs (including games) will play again. Three polishing pads of optical industry velveteen are included.
FULL INSTRUCTIONS ARE INCLUDED WITH EACH CONTAINER.
Please look at my feedback. I am known during 19+ years on eBay for honesty and accurate descriptions.
Please contact me using the "Ask Seller a Question" link above, with any questions.
Please read some comments I have received about this unique product:
Audiophile William Sheriton emailed me the following:
"Sandy, I love this product!
With my single ended system and horns, my system is extremely revealing. The sonic improvements with Mikrosmooth are obvious from the moment I listened to my first treated CD. Better highs, unbeliveable mids and the transparency of the music was amazing!
I will recommend this to my audio club. Thanks Again!" William Sheriton, Charlotte, NC
Videophile Colin Zabilziki had this to say:
"Sandy, I really did not think that this product would make any difference. Boy was I wrong! The video improvements are truly outstanding! On my large screen plasma, the picture was much cleaner and clearer. Colors were not at all smeared...especially the red where I used to have a problem. My home theater experience is now significantly improved, I cannot thank you enough! Thanks again! Colin Zabilziki", New Haven, CT
Gamer Ralph Woodson said this after using Mikrosmooth:
"I used Mikrosmooth on 3 games that were so badly scratched that they would not play on my PS3. Now, they all play perfectly! Thanks Dood!" Ralph Woodson, Detroit Michigan
KNOW YOUR SELLER! PLEASE CHECK OUR FEEDBACK.
NOTE: Unlike some other sellers, ALL SHIPPING/INSURANCE/HANDLING charges for
2-5 day business days delivery service
in the US as well as International Delivery options are stated
up front
in our auctions.
This bid price is for one 35 ml container of Mikrosmooth. This item comes with 3 special washable polishing pads and instructions for use from Mapleshade. If you need more than one container, please bid on as many as you need. Quite frankly, one container should last for years.
Feel free to check my feedback and bid with confidence. Please email with any questions before bidding. We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express through PayPal. We reserve the right to reject bids from those with negative or hidden feedback. If you fall into this category, please email before bidding! We also reserve the right to declare this auction null and void if eBay is not accessible during the last three hours of this auction.
SHIPPING COSTS-DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL
(Effective Jan. 27, 2013)
SPECIAL NOTE ON SHIPPING COSTS: I ship within the US via Insured First Class Mail with Tracking. My actual out-of-pocket cost to ship even one container within the US is about .60 for First Class Mail plus an additional expense for the private shipping Insurance plus an additional cost for the Delivery Confirmation Number (that I will email to you after shipping). This totals over .60 postage you will find on your package shipped to the US, plus the cost of private shipping insurance, packing materials such as the bubble wrap mailer. I then need to carefully pack the container, make out the shipping label and Delivery Confirmation form online and wait in line at the post office to ship. I am certainly not making a profit on shipping Mikrosmooth.
VERY FAST domestic shipping and insurance for the 1st container, using USPS Insured First Class Mail (2-5 Business Days Service) with Delivery Confirmation and extremely careful packing is .60 within the US including Alaska and Hawaii. Insured Priority Mail shipping to Puerto Rico is also .60. Extra containers shipped together are only .00 extra per bottle for shipping and insurance within the US. 98% of our items are shipped the same day or next business day after payment is received.
International Shipping would be via USPS First Class Mail International (4-7 days transit time). The cost is .60 and this cost includes the additional time required to fill out the customs forms. Again, extras shipped internationally together in the same package via First Class Mail International cost only .00 extra for each additional container shipped in the same package. Shipping to Canada is just .60. Additional containers in the same package shipped to Canada re .00 extra for each additional container of Mikrosmooth shipped together in the same package. I have had excellent experience shipping via First Class Mail International, and we will upload tracking information to eBay for this shipping service.
IMPORTANT SAVINGS SAVINGS ON SHIPPING COSTS: If purchasing multiple items, please email me at the end of this auction and I will also combine shipping on mulitple items to help offset the cost of
Express Mail.
IMPORTANT: I have a special favor to ask of our buyers: eBay has a new rating system called Detailed Seller Ratings or DSRs. It's those little stars you click on when you leave feedback.
Here is the problem, and therefore the favor that we ask: When you give 4 stars, it may seem like a great score, for instance 4 stars in Shipping
Time means "Quickly"
eBay, HOWEVER CONSIDERS 4 STARS A SUB PAR MARK!!
! WE ARE ACTUALLY PENALIZED WITH HIGHER EbAY FEES IF WE GET 4 STAR RATINGS INSTEAD OF 5 STAR RATINGS!
eBay standards require sellers to maintain 4.8 & above or be penalized with higher fees & more.
And when rating us for "Shipping and Handling Charges" we ask that you please consider that insurance is included and paid by us which does not show in the postage cost on your package, so please consider that we have paid this additional shipping cost that is not visible on the postage on your package.
I strive for 5 star service by stating upfront my policies, my shipping rate & my shipping frequency.
If you were pleased with this transaction, please respond with all 5 stars! If you are not, please let me know via email and I'll work to make it that way.
Please help us work to make eBay an even greater community. The more 5 Star ratings we earn, the lower our eBay fees are, thus enabling us to offer our items at the lowest costs possible. We respectfully ask that you please take this into condideration when deciding if our services are excellent and how many "stars" to leave in your ratings.
eBay does not consider 4 "Stars" good enough
to grant us a discount on the eBay fees to us,
only 5 "Stars" is good enough!
Thanks! Sandy & Barbara
ATTENTION: ITALY / ITALIAN BIDDERS:
Due to NUMEROUS AND REPEATED problems with the speed of Italian Customs & Post Office, we cannot respond to questions about shipping via First Class International to Italy for SIX FULL WEEKS after the ship date. If your item is being shipped to Italy via First Class Mail International, please do not email asking about delivery until 6 weeks have passed from the date of mailing. We have had repeated problems with Customs in Italy and buyers in Italy then email us that they have not received their goods. Then...after many emails back and forth during several weeks, the item
always
shows up.
This delay is not caused by us
and even though we would love to help, there is truly NOTHING we can do about it. It is the Italian Postal System & Italian Customs that are causing these delays! Other sellers are simply refusing to sell to Italy. We do not want to do that, although we will be forced to if there are consistent problems. We sell many items to customers in Italy!
We love our many friends and customers in Italy!
You are WELCOME to bid on our items, but please understand and abide by these terms. If you need your item sooner than 6 weeks, please ask us for the cost to ship via Express Mail International which takes about 8-10 days to Italy. Thank you for your understanding!
Please click on: "View Seller's Other Auctions" for more interesting items. Please check my feedback and bid with confidence. Good luck & thank you for bidding. You may pay for this item on your Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express card at no extra charge through PayPal. If you use PayPal Instant Payment, I will get immediate payment and be able to ship without waiting for your payment to arrive. Thanks and Good Luck to all!
