Fixing scratched CD's and DVD's using Brasso

[tossEAC]

I have just got hold of a 7oz tin of Plexus Plastic Polish, the smell is gorgeous, a bit like smelling brand new plastic, similiair to selotape smell, but lots nicer. I will be dreaming of the smell all week, its so lovely YUM!

Only kidding, if brassoing really scratched discs - ISNT YOUR CUP OF TEA - but cleaning mint discs that may have got some greasy finger marks on, and your sick of regular aerosal polishes, that leave it looking less than perfect.

If you want dirty otherwise mint condition discs, looking and feeling like new again. Then get some Plexus Polish.

It's the only polish I would ever use on my psp 3000, that is still scratch free, and now its clean again too.

I could do with scanning the back of a ps2 disc I just Plexussed, I looked at it, and didn't seem to be scratched but was marked a bit, I cleaned it with Plexus and it looks brand new.

The polish was designed for Space Ships (Planes) and costs £12 for a 7oz tin (198g).

Simply put... YOU CAN'T BEAT IT (EVER).

tossEAC, you gave me the idea to buy scratched discs on ebay & co, dump them, fix them with brasso & plexus and sell them again for more money. i have many of them here. i couldn't find brasso in stores yet

Hi Ghazy, yes, it's a bit hard to find here I found only 2 German online shops... the first one wants more than 10€ for shipping and minimum order is 20€ so you'd have to buy 4 bottles -.-

The second one looks much better, "only" 5€ for shipping and no minimum order. I'm thinking about ordering one or two bottles there myself

brasso & plexus IS A WASTE OF PLEXUS, sort of.

brasso is amazing for really badly scratched discs.

plexus is amazing also, but for your very precious un-scratched discs, and psp screens.

you won't get them looking as good as new if you brasso.

but if they are like 'mint' with some dirt, grease or whatever, polish will get them good but plexus will get them absolutely perfect, but only if they are technically perfect to begin with.

I actuall went to a cheep second hand shop, and went through all the ps2 discs, rejecting any scratched ones, but keeping anything I thought would be ok once polished, as a matter of fact out of about a hundred games I found about 10 that were just a bit dirty, but not scratched.

thanks for your replies mates. now things are a bit clearer for me

You could try ASDA supermarkets (uk) for brasso, order online, and maybe they'll send it at a reaonable price.

Couldn't you just use the Game Doctor? It's suppose to buff out the scratches on a CD and/or DVD?

I live in the USA and it was sold at Software Etc. & EBgames when it was popular a couple of years ago.

I have both the manual and the automated version of that thing and it works nowhere near as good as advertised. In most cases I've had no improvement whatsoever.
