CD/DVD scratch removers/repair kits

[Crackpot]

Do they work? are they easy to use? any reccomended brands?

[Gob]

Quick answer; "Yes , but..."

More often than not they are overpriced and no more efficient than stuff which can be bought at your local hardware store.

I use Brasso for mine, and a soft cloth.



Any scratches which cannot be got out with Brasso and a cloth are too deep to ever be got out without erasing the disc.

What are these CD/DVD's you speak of?

[Crackpot]

the brasso seems to have worked

[Crackpot]

On one CD anyway. the 2nd didn't work though it really didn't look scratched in the first place

[Jarlaxle]

Hmm...gotta try this. I do NOT want to drop $30 buying four CD's I don';t need to replace the one I do need.

Jarl, apply Brasso with a clean soft cloth, leave to dry, rub off from the centre outwards.

Circular scratches are the worse, radial scratches not so bad

[The Hen]

Its the only bit of cleaning he does well.

(By that I mean, not to 'boy-standard'.)
