Couldn't you just use the Game Doctor? It's suppose to buff out the scratches on a CD and/or DVD?

I live in the USA and it was sold at Software Etc. & EBgames when it was popular a couple of years ago.

I have both the manual and the automated version of that thing and it works nowhere near as good as advertised. In most cases I've had no improvement whatsoever.

brasso is amazing for really badly scratched discs.

plexus is amazing also, but for your very precious un-scratched discs, and psp screens.

you won't get them looking as good as new if you brasso.

but if they are like 'mint' with some dirt, grease or whatever, polish will get them good but plexus will get them absolutely perfect, but only if they are technically perfect to begin with.

I actuall went to a cheep second hand shop, and went through all the ps2 discs, rejecting any scratched ones, but keeping anything I thought would be ok once polished, as a matter of fact out of about a hundred games I found about 10 that were just a bit dirty, but not scratched.

The second one looks much better, "only" 5€ for shipping and no minimum order. I'm thinking about ordering one or two bottles there myself smile

I will be dreaming of the smell all week, its so lovely smile YUM!

Only kidding, if brassoing really scratched discs - ISNT YOUR CUP OF TEA - but cleaning mint discs that may have got some greasy finger marks on, and your sick of regular aerosal polishes, that leave it looking less than perfect.

If you want dirty otherwise mint condition discs, looking and feeling like new again. Then get some Plexus Polish.

It's the only polish I would ever use on my psp 3000, that is still scratch free, and now its clean again too.

I could do with scanning the back of a ps2 disc I just Plexussed, I looked at it, and didn't seem to be scratched but was marked a bit, I cleaned it with Plexus and it looks brand new.

The polish was designed for Space Ships (Planes) smile and costs £12 for a 7oz tin (198g).

Simply put... YOU CAN'T BEAT IT (EVER).

It contains ammonia, so best to use outside or in a ventilated garage or something

I know it's very similair to brasso, but I haven't tested it yet. When I do I'll let you know how it is.

I got a 150ml tin of Silvo for less than £1, it was on offer.

I must of polished it about 50 times but in isobuster now it say's the disc is in good working order doing a surface scan. So even if your disc is pretty scratched and giving errors you can get it to work again using a bit of elbow greese and patients. I've done 5 discs now and all 5 are working flawlessly so stick at it. I'm using brasso with the wadding and one of them yellow soft cloths. Apparently T-cut works aswell but Brasso is the best and it's cheaper.

Oh and if you've got a caravan with plastic windows you can use it to remove the scratches. My friend told me that today.

Give it a go on one of your scratched cd boxes Jackal, it's so worth while.

I done about 10 minutes brassoing, and breathed the fumes for the same time, and it gives you a thumping head-ache, so be carefull.
