How do you fix an ''out of print'' scratched CD ?


I don't know how it could of happened but one of my favorite CD's is skipping and from the looks of it has a scratch on it !!!! No, it's not the equipment...but is there any after market stuff that could fix this ????? This is out of print and I really like this disc.....''The Best of the Band'' .....on Capital.

LAT International C Diamond has cured this on some discs. About $12 and if it doesn't cure it you can use it for its original use of enhancing reproduction by stopping laser scatter.
Check out the link below for a company that makes several plastic polishes and a cleaner.

I used this product to remove some scratches on my car's lexan headlight covers. It works great and I'll bet it will do the job on a CD.
I have repaired hundreds of scratched CDs by polishing with toothpaste back and forth from center to edge. It looks like hell when you're done, but only about one in a hundred fail to give me a perfect read with EAC.
There's a guy here in Central NJ who does a great job for $5 per disc. Call 411 for Screams From The Gutter in Manville, NJ.
