CD scratches - how to polish them out?

[gadget 0]

What about these CD repair kits which are about 15-20 quid - come with two abrasive and two polishing rings and some gel to fix the cd with - are these any good? Tempted to try on a couple of old Cds (which have since been attached by the booklet to the point the label surface is knackered). Or on some badly scratched CD-Rs...

if the label side of the CD is k nackered, then a CD repair wont work anyway

 

the Label is actually the music! The Plastic side is just a protective screen

Its more to test to see how well the scratches are removed - not if it can play or not!

 

These Cds that have the top layer coming off are the ones where the booklets were made with non-acid paper which basically rots the top layer of the CD

What's this?

 

Kev - the reference was to previous posts about pranks played on unsuspecting apprentices in the various trades, for example asking one to go to the store for a Long Weight... tongue out icon

Yeah thanks for explaining that one you put it much better than I could.

 

Bye the way I gave the car polish a go and it seems to have worked , maybe not completly but the scratches are nearly gone, and the cd player can read them now. :thanks:
