-
Place the damaged CD on a towel or cloth on top of a table.
-
Wipe the CD clean with a new rag or unused buffing cloth.
-
Apply a small amount of car wax to the scratch, rubbing it in carefully so that you fully fill in the crack.
-
Allow the wax to dry. Check the package for guidelines as far as drying times go. If there are none, then wait at least 30 minutes.
-
Buff the wax with the clean cloth, making sure you go with the length of the scratch, not against it.
-
Wash the disc with water once you can no longer see the scratch.
-
Allow the CD to dry, and then try it out in your player.
Warnings
