How to repair a DVD or CD disk
Sooper seekret trick - Brasso
From
McGee Flutes:
Fixing Scratched CDs
A simple and safe-to-do-at-home repair for scratched and scuffed CDs
When CDs first came out, there was a remarkable amount of sales hype about how indestructible they were. Those of us who work in radio stations soon found out! CDs are easily rendered unplayable by a small scuff or scratch to the playing surface. Fortunately, these minor abrasions can be easily fixed.
Also,
Burning Issues had an excellent comparison of several commercial fluids complete with graphic analysis of how well they worked. Their conclusion? Brasso and Crystal-Disk.
Considering that Brasso sold for (these are 2000 prices) $4.69 for 235ml and Crystal Disc sold for $7.99 for 20ml, the choice is pretty much a no-brainer...
The
McGee Flutes link has detailed directions for use including how you should move the polishing cloth -- good stuff to know.
