Dvd/Cd Scratch remover

[daveyrach]

Morning All

My kids have a lot of DVD's that are scratched and skip and jump when watching, I am thinking it would be cheaper to invest in a scratch remover rather than replace a DVD everytime they go.

Does anyone know of a decent device I can use, I had one a few years ago and it was rubbish, made the discs worse.

Cheers OMO

For Perspex you can use liquid Brasso and a soft cloth to sort out scratches. Not sure what CDs are made of but you could try one you're less fussed about.

I've used brasso on cd's, it does work just dont go mad with it.

I found a thing online saying generic metal polish, will autosol work as I have that?

It's more of a paste. Liquid Brasso is an opaque liquid, no scratchy granules

Copy the original.

I was once told mayonnaise and a freezer for a temporary fix.


Then get the CDs copied.

I have a bottle of Philips CD polish (http://www.ciao.co.uk/Reviews/Philips_SAC2530_CD_DVD_repair_kit__6670600) and some soft cloths and that is good for small scratches and the like. I also find that a dip in clean washing up water is good for general dirt that kids leave on Disks. Get rid of the filth and the polish is a lot easier. However the polish does not get rid of deep scores in the plastic.

Toothpaste was another cure, but I've not tried it myself
