I have used Auric Illuminator. It's basically a high quality wax that fills in imperfections in the CD surface. It's pretty easy to apply and the CD ends up looking nice and shiny.
I started out applying it religiously (pun intended) to my CDs when I still used a transport, but slowly lost interest and didn't really notice any difference in sound quality whether I used it or not. It is good for repairing lightly scratched discs and cleaning smudged discs, but doesn't really do anything for discs so heavily scratched that EAC has trouble reading them. As noted, it won't make any difference when ripping on your PC unless you have thumbprints or other debris on the discs.
