COMPUTER TRICKS

Remove Scratches From CDs and DVDs

1. Spread a cloth on a flat surface and place the CD/DVD on it.
2. Then, hold the disc with one hand, use the other to wipe the polish into the affected area with a soft cloth.
3. Wait for it to dry and buff using short, brisk strokes along the scratch, not across it.
4. A cloth sold to wipe spectacles or camera lenses will work superb.
5. When you can no longer see the scratches , wash the disc with water and let it dry before playing. Intersting isnt it? Try it right now
I have used toothpaste with good effects before Ive also used car paint cutting compound on deeper scratches. It does leave lots of smaller scratches (as it is a cutting compound after all) but it will remove the worst scratches in most cases.
General..Reasons For Scratches On Disks are :
* Fingermarks/prints cause 43% of disc problems.
* General wear & tear causes 25% of disc problems.
* Player-related issues cause 15% of disc problems.
* Remaining Others
