I have one of these mate.

 

Cheers Bamm, I'll look into that. Much appreciated



I tried a similar one that I wasn't too impressed with to be honest. Thanks though.

 

You can use a soft buffing wheel to remove the scratches.
I bought a used CD from a CD resale shop, it was badly scratched, I pionted it out hoping to get a better copy. The guy offered to buff it out. He came back after 5 minutes with the disc looking BRAND new! I asked what they used, he said, "Oh, we have a professional polishing system." I asked to see it and he refused. I left happy with my pretty disc, next time I was there I saw through the back curtains, they just had a 1/2 HP bench grinder with 2 soft 6-8" buffing wheels attached.

Some pro system, eh?

As far as polish, there are a number of plastic polishes you can use, but you need to remember this one crucial thing, you will melt your discs if you're not careful. practice on some junky ones 1st.

I've never seen one of the silly, lil' hand crank or battery operated disc cleaners do as good a job as the buffing wheel does.

Hope that helps.

 

Yeah, same here.

I've no problems with paying out for a decent machine, just for the simple fact that you save on buying pre-owned discs anyway and over time (not much time in my case) it'd pay for itself.

 

Oh and for the record, I've also tried Skip Doctor too and it was AWFUL. It resurfaces the disc and then leaves a bunch of it's own marks instead!

 

OK, while we're on the subject, does anyone make a disk I can put in my player that cleans the laser/lens/whatever it is? My CD player has started skipping everything, and because it's one of those older 5 disk platter changers compressed air doesn't do the trick.

 

I have one of those disc with the little brushes on it, not sure if they still make them, but it seems to do the trick.

 

going back in time a little bit...

I have a VHS tape that the front piece cracked off of - my VCR won't play it anymore. Does anybody have any ideas or a way to fix this, or maybe transfer the contents to a DVD?

(it's not porn, sorry)

I wonder if you couldn't find an old VHS tape you didn't care about, and take it apart. Then take apart your current tape and transfer the rolls into the other case.
I never tried this, so I don't know how much is involved, but I would think you'd know better once you took apart the first tape (the one you don't care about) if it seems feasible.

 

I guess they still do: http://www.amazon.com/Memorex-CD-DVD-Player-Laser-Lens-Cleaner/dp/B00008EM7U

 

Cool, ordered it. Thanks!

 

No Problem, hope it works for ya'!

 

if i have any damaged discs i take them to a local blockbuster store.they clean them for free.i took a game in other day proper scratched to bits.they cleaned the disc it now works fine and looks brand new ill try and find out what the name of the cleaner is called.

 

The one near me charges £2 a time, which is why I'd rather just buy the machine. Next time I'm there I'll ask them what make it is

 

I remember a sound engineer telling me you can use the same stuff used at eyeglass places for eyeglass scratch removal to remove any scratches from cds/dvds. Never tried it myself.
