Wet/Dry abrasive paper. Sold at the link below(every grade you need, and cheaper), or you can buy it in individual grades for more money at a local auto parts store or Walmart. The longer you spend wet sanding with the 3000 grit or higher abrasive paper, the better the end result will be. Thanks for watching

Nicely made video actually. Clearly demonstrated and well spoken and narrated. That in itself gets top marks from me compared to so much else out there. In terms of the content it looks to work very well and is backed by a logical and understandable mechanism that is easy to make sense of. Thanks.

OMG! THIS REALLY WORKS! I just saved my Mario Party 8 disc from beyond the grave! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I used car wax instead of the the product shown in the video and it worked just fine.

[EdPMur]

Wow, that's one hell of a coincidence! It is actually a Wii Sports disk that I want to descratch!

[podadragonwarrior]

Everyone here saying they’re trying to repair their wii sports disc. I’m just here to repair my ratatouille game disc

[irishgavin]

NO WAY! I ONLY CAME TO THIS VIDEO TO FIX MY WII SPORTS!

[cabbageswithcars]

very informative i will give it a try, i first saw the cd disc on the tomorrows world programme in 1982 after nearly 40 years you would think they would have come up with a decent tough plastic so it didnt scratch just by breathing on it or touching it .

[wingfufung]

I tried to use the dvd rom in public library, which has a center hole button to stabilize the disc, it works.

I haven't checked out this channel in a couple years. So glad to see that you've made it to over 100k subs! Keep up the great work man.

Before watching this video, I tried a 1000 grit, 2000 grit sandpaper and a scratch remover paste. It did not work out for me, I think i made a mistake by not using a finer 3000 grit sandpaper, I will try again using a 3000 and higher grits plus a 3M scratch remover cream. Nice informative video!

Came here to learn to remove scratches you scratch the crap out of it. Right on! I have so many CDs I want to keep & now I'm gonna scratch them more. I sure hope this really works.

[poyrito]

So thanks. This video is useful . You saved my Original Nfs Underground 1 disc.

For the 3000 grit can I use just the wet/dry instead of the 3000 grit foam sanding pad

Yoooo thx for the vid🤩🤩 I tried fixing my need for speed underground for my ps2 and it works now🔥

[RAZR_Channel]

Finally I can recover my porn collection... ( priceless )

It worked for me. I saved a $460 cd I got from Discogs. I somehow scratched the hell out of it during a move, which is not a proud moment considering the price tag and rarity of the album. However I’m still left with lots of tiny scratches, and my burner keeps ejecting it. It plays fine in a CD player now though, oddly. I did use Brasso which I had on hand instead of headlight polish like yourself. Would I need to sand longer and possibly harder with the higher grit?

[viningscircle]

There does seem to be two schools of thought on the DIRECTION of the sanding/restoring motion on the disc surface. Some are saying that one should only go from EDGE TO EDGE in a straight line, whereas others are specifically calling for going in a CIRCULAR pattern, as demonstrated here, much as one would clean an LP record. I take it has to do with how the laser reads the data imbedded. Which is right, or does it truly matter?

[SK-quwo]

Will this method work for a single deep scratch at the edge of a music CD or do I need to go with a lower number on the first sandpaper? Also you never did show how you cleaned off the excess polish afterwards. Did you run it under the tap water and dry it off with a microfiber cloth?

Just bought brainstorm off Amazon from a third party. The first part of the movie freezes because of small scratches, hope it works, love this movie
