Getting scratches and scuffs out of your cd's and dvd's

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Any car wax
  • clean cloth
  1. Step 1

    Turn cd on side that is where laser reads it. Do not repair side with writing or logs on it. Get the wax and rag ready. You can use any kind of car wax, such as Turtle wax. Polishes do not work as well.

  2. Step 2

    rub small amount of wax on cd in up and down motion. Do not rub it in circuliar motion. This works with even new discs to protect them. Let sit for a minute.

  3. Step 3

    Let it haze up and wipe the same way as you did to polish the disc. You may have to do it twice. You may still see some scuffs and scrathes on the disc, but what you willl be doing is fillthem in with the rubed in wax. The disc should now be playable and should last, if handled with care for a long time.

Tips & Warnings
  • Always rub in up and down motion so not to make grooves in discs.
