What have you found that really works for scratchd CDs? I'm not talking ones with HUGE scrapes on them that would never come out, but say you had a few had been in a drawer in your truck, that has seen better days....what works to get out scratches?

 

Take them to a store that buys and sells used CD's and movies. They can resurface them pretty cheap.

I've heard toothpaste will fix one too, but I'd sooner use something designed for the job.

 

Skip Dr. is what I use. You can find 'em at Best Buy, Wal Mart, pretty much anywhere where music is sold I guess.

 

Since I got my sirius 3 years ago, I have not even listened to a cd in my tractor.
I have over 500 record albums from my child hood and it took me years to get out of the old school mentality and begin buying cds to which now I have at least 600 and have not listened to one in the last year or so even at home, Satelite has taken over my life... Help....

tried that years ago....dont really work. I mean it cleans more than repairs....just a gimmik to waste your money.

Rev. had a good idea....i did have one CD i took to a CD recycle store, and it was pretty much brand new. dont know what they use, but i'd like one. =)

someone told me car wax does the trick, but again, i would rather go somewhere or use something designed for the job.

 

They use an electric machine that basically sands the top layer of the CD off. Very fine grit sandpaper with special chemicals.

 

+1 :thumbsup: I use to work part time at a video store and they have a resurfacing machine and resurface DVD's and CD's. It wasn't sandpaper, but rather more like scratchy pads and paste with varying degrees of abrasives. The machine spun the DVD's and CD's over the paste applied pads. Worked on most all scratches!

 

So how much does this cost?

 

Probably wont help threadstarter but I use to carry around CD's all the time but then I ended up buying an MP3 player and a powerfull "portable" speaker from Best Buy. It is about 7 inches in diameter and cost a litlle over $100.00.

I use to use casette adapters but they are all junk. I plug my MP3 player into portable speaker and power that with a power inverter. I have over 1,200 songs on my MP3 player so I set it to random play and it is just like having your own radio station.

I would go through my CD's and write down all my favorite songs from each CD and download them off of the internet to my I-POD.

 

Last I checked, it was like $1.00 per disc.
