By the way, Novus is great for cleaning up turntable dust covers!

Nooooo. Don't sand it! Buy Novus Plastic polish #2. It will remove all the
scratches. Novus makes some great polishes. There come in strengths, #s 1, 2,
and 3. 1 is a light polish, #2 is the most often used. #3 is for heavy
scratches. Great for anything plastic like watch crystals (plastic type),
microwaveoven front panels, motorcycle windshield, etc.

I have found that smearing washing-up liquid on a cd and rinsing in warm water
often removes small 'unseen' marks which can prevent a disc from initially
being read. This does not remove scratches but I have found that it does help
in a lot of cases. For deeper scratches, I would guess jewelers rouge or
plastic polishing compound applied gently on a polishing mop would work quite
well.
With reference to longevity last week: in 100 years, no one will know what a CD
is other than a shiny plastic disc. A vinyl record will show as a disk with
grooves. People will soon discover that by inserting a pin in a piece of paper,
resting the pin on the disc and rotating the disc, sound will emanate. Ideal
rotational speed would be easy to guess from the sounds. Similarly with film,
it will be something which is easily deciphered. Magnetic media or CDs, with
all the different formats, will be a challenge to understand.

I found a piece of 600 grit that had white on it, which would have been the
material removed from the disks. I don't remember whether I used it wet or dry
but would think that it was wet.
Interesting. I would have thought even 600 grit is too coarse, but what do I
know? I wonder if the particles of plastic suspended in the water contribute to
the polishing effect. I'll try this on a couple of unrecoverable CDs and report
back. Thanks for the tip.
