Well, as a wee lad I used to build *TONS* of model airplanes and turtle
wax was known in modeling circles to be a good way to bring scratches out
of the lil cockpit canopies, or if you had to reshape a clear plastic
piece you could bring back the luster with 'nuff wax (properly buffed,
o'course!)
Since the days I moved out of models and into CDs, I used the carwax
trick on my ancient Lil Fluffly Clouds single ( a common party lender,
and we know what parties do to CDs!) and the old Altern8 full-length and
it made them playable.. On the other hand it didnt work on other CDs, so
your mileage may vary depending on what your damage is. -Im batting .500
with Mr. Turtle tho :)
Id like to know more about the 'special compound' designed for this! I
keep my old scratched CDs even tho they are unplayable. I guess for the
same reasons people freeze themselves when they die - in the hopes that
some future technology can one day make them live again!!
ITS ALIVE!!
