WTM Flannel + very thick green tea (essence) and of course polishing. Of course, we understand that not every scratch can be removed.

Someone once told me that he used toothpaste (the most ordinary one) and a cotton pad . I cleaned the display in C35 with the paste and it came out OK, maybe the disc would help.

I used to use toothpaste with an admixture of castor oil. Rubbing with such a paste gave a good effect, recently I regained the CD using this method, checked. : sm30:

www.google.pl
type there: CD cleaning kit.
Lots of information, but beware, there are laser cleaning kits and laser + CD cleaning kits - these kits include additional disc fluids and additional polishing.

With this toothpaste it doesn't work that well. I tried recently on CDRW and the effect was "tragic" the album came out MATTE so maybe it depends on the type of toothpaste ??? as for the display from the cell phone, the "milk", I think "cif" was "SUPER" as fast as new, but whether the CDR will work like this, I have not tried.
Regards.

I use agents that are used to remove scratches on the car. So I take a 2000 grit water sandpaper and sand the entire plate to remove the coarsest scratches, then polishing paste - preferably Farecla on a soft cloth to remove micro scratches from the sandpaper.

Hello, if the methods provided by your colleagues do not help, try using the CDcheck program to rescue data from scratched and damaged media and copy what you will recover to a blank CD.

Or go to a friend who has a decent (preferably quite new) cd / dvd player and try to read the scratched disc from him.

Anonymous · Answer

From the ways I tried and once worked and sometimes not: toothpaste, dishwashing liquid + washing with warm water (but not with boiling water!), And sometimes it helps to sprinkle with window cleaner

Try to insert the disc into a different drive, a more sensitive one, for example a DVD recorder, and then copy this disc.

Chillout · Answer

Try to insert this disc into the recorder - data writers have more precise readers. And if that doesn't help, I suggest treating the puck with warm tap water for a few minutes. After all, it does not hurt to clean the plate with special cloths, intended e.g. for LCD monitors. Most of the time it works for me.

I personally polish the tiles with cigarette ash, the tile is dull after that, so I polish the Mat itself with a clean tissue. 99% success.
However, check carefully against the light that there are no scratches on the print side, because if there are any, then forget about polishing.
