Useful hints below to help you look after your disc’s or repair ones that are damaged.
1) How to remove those finger marks.
You can get rid of finger marks very easily. All you need is a small amount of washing up liquid diluted with water. Clean the disc like you would clean an ornament. (carefully) When it is dry go over it with an optical closh to bring back the shine.
2) How to remove light marks and scuffs.
Try using nail polish remover. You ca slo try furniture polish. This will get rid of the marks and scuffs. Use a soft cloth and rub the nail polish remover/furniture polish all over the disc. Whe it is dry wipe with a soft cloth. Then use an optical cloth to bring back the shine.
3) How to remove scratches.
Brasso or car polish. Use a soft cloth and rub gently all over the disc. You might have to do this a few times to get the scratch out. So rub it on then rub it off, the use of an optical cloth to bring back the shine is again recommended at the end.
4) How to remove deep scratches.
This can be very difficult to do. You can take it to a game shop that will put it in a professional cleaning machine. It will cost between £5 - £10. Or you can try this, you have nothing to lose. If the disc doesn’t work anyway. Get some glass paper (very fine sand paper) then lightly use the glass paper on the disc, it will scratch the disc but don’t worry, what you are trying to do is make the layer of the disc smaller, so the deep scratch will not be quite so deep. Make sure the disc has been evenly rubbed all over, wipe with a clean cloth and follow step 3 above.
The moment of truth will be when you put the disc back in the player. Make the £5 or £10 to get the disc professional cleaned not sound so bad after all!!.
