Re: Disc/Scratch Repair 411?
I had someone tell me once to use colgate toothpaste, it has a very mild abrasive, and clean the disk using a circular motion.
I thought they were out of their gourd, why use an abrasive to clean a CD!?!?!?!? But it did work!!!! |

I have an $800 professional high-speed disc resurfacer.... serious machine here...
You can take a disc and bounce it off the asphalt like a frisbee and when I'm done with it, it looks brand new. HOWEVER, scratches that are located on the lable side cannot be repaired, the data is in effect, gone for good. |

C. Staley I have an $800 professional high-speed disc resurfacer.... serious machine here... Yeah. Why did you opt to go with the "serious machine" instead of one of these $50 motorized repair machines? Is it because of volume, or the cheap one just doesn't work, or ease of use? I walked around Fry's (an electronics store we have in Southern California) and the salespeople were not too sure about how good all the machines are. Of course they only sold the less serious gadgets. Thanks for your responses so far. |

It calls to mind a lot of discussion on the forums a couple of years ago regarding the constant wear that shuffling discs in and out of carriers was causing on the painted surface on Sound Choice discs, rendering them useless once the paint was completely eroded in spots. George |

I've used the car polish method, I've used the Disc Doctor, I've used the $50 machines, All with marginal results. The machine that I use is amazing... and yes, it's a minimum of a 2-step process to resurface a disc (cd or cdrom) and a 3 or 4 step process if it is a DVD because they have to be absolutely "perfect" to be read in the player. |
