The Japanese Nespa Pro Optical Disc Finalizer, which sadly is no longer made, has worked well for me for years. I usually only use it on especially poor CDs, in order to conserve the bulb.
Despite mostly favorable reviews at the time, the Nespa eventually slipped into obscurity when the bulb, around which the whole unit was designed, became unavailable. Shame, because IMO it worked quite well on most recordings. On some it didn't do much, but those were exceptions to the rule.

We sold hundreds of Nespa Pro units some customers buying 3 units at once b/c of the bulb concern. It worked on CD's as well as DVD's and used in conjunction with the companies Intron cleaning solution was a win - win. I'm told that Japan is considering bringing them back.
Stay tuned! (But I'm not optimistic the price would remain realistic)
(Dealer disclaimer)
I bought two, but recently sold my second unit to fund a crapload of music purchases. :) In fact, I probably bought them from you, since weren't you the exclusive distributor for Nanotec Systems back in the day?
BTW, the guy who bought my spare is over the moon about it.
I doubt I'd be able to rebuy one--especially if the price increases--so I'm hoping mine holds out a little while longer!
This is a public service announcement . . . WITH GUITARS!!!
We have seen the bulb last from well over 5,000 treatments to double that!
