[olug] CD resurfacing

[Daniel Pfile]

I don't have one of those machines but I did buy one of the kits from 
radio shack once a while ago. I used it to rescue psx and audio cds for 
friends and myself. I'm not sure where it is now, but if I remember 
right it's two things. 1 bottle of liquid wax (carnauba I think) and 1 
bottle of cleaning fluid (alcohol I think) All you did was clean off the 
cd to remove grime, apply the wax, let dry, and buff clean. Repeat. All 
it does is fill in the scratches with wax. It only works good for small 
scratches. I didn't use it much, since I was concerned about the wax 
heating up and ruining the cd players.

Here's some linkage via google:

Check out this quote in that tech tv article: "In contrast, the 
SkipDoctor MD, which is basically a motorized polishing surface, uses 
distilled water as a lubricant. Distilled water poses little if any 
health threat." Boy, I sure hope so...
