Need to clean some cds

I've seen some used CD stores use a bench/wheel grinder with a buffing wheel to buff the surfaces clear of the superficial scratches... wierded me out at first, but they really looked great after a couple quick passes, and the ones I took home play perfectly and look like new. Just like the instructions on a can of paint or stain, however, my advice would be: test first on a scrap piece!

I've succeeded in actually creating more scratches than I had before with some commercial CD-wipes (yes, I cleaned the larger debris and particles off first - the wipes were just not very soft), so I'm taking a "hands-off" approach for the moment. Interested to hear what suggestions others come up with.

Cheers,
Mike

I'll second the Meguiars "Scratch X".
I have had great success with it.
The best cloth to use is a BRAND NEW baby diaper.
Doesn't get any softer that that.
I use them on my classic car.
Just my $.02.

Do you wipe from center to edge of each CD (or in circular motion as with vinyl record) when rubbing out scratches on a CD?
