with 3 kids under 10, i'd had years of pulling out
my hair over CDs and DVDs laying on the floor, etc.
this product, which i got on amazon, is the first
product which i've found actually works "fixing"
scratched disks:
Skip Dr. Motorized Automax Scratch Repair System
it sands the disks radially, which is rather hard to
do by hand, and is fairly easy an non-messy to use.

either the manufacturer nor amazon.com except as a customer.
