Using headlight repair compound on cds

I have a lot of demo cds I am dumping, one of them is playstation underground.

It had three long scratches on the disc, and I had
bluemagic headlight restore around the house but this
applies to any of the fine grit polishes.

I started by laying a cloth flat on a hard surface, and applying a line
of rubbing compound to the fine cloth (like the kind used
to clean cars). I worked the cd across the line for 60 seconds, back and forth
by holding it in the center and edge, rotating it every ten seconds.
It removed most of the scratch but not all. The disc would not read.

I flipped the disc over and made a circle of polish on the disc.
Using the same polish rich cloth, I worked the disc in circular motions.
Dividing the disc into four, I worked each "corner" of the disc for
15 seconds with moderate pressure. I did not have to work long
or press very hard.

Washed it, dried it with cotton cloth and it was dumpable. :thumbsup:

Nice for valuable discs.
