I have bought several second hand discs and they are scratched.

They play ok, but I'd like them to be looking like new

I have seen these scratch removers. Are they any good?

I want to get one so I can use it again in the future.

Anyone have one?

What are the results like ?

Which is the best one to get ?

in the uk by the way.

Hmmmm, the ONLY reason I ever want to get rid of scratches is because the CD
doesn't play properly - it's not as if I'm going to be gazing at the playing
side or using the thing as a mirror. On the odd occasion that something
needs to be done I just use metal polish and after buffing to a shine I then
give the disc a wash/rinse. That's worked fine with troublesome CDs borrowed
from the local library.

I think it's best to do as little as possible to a CD, particularly if it's
playing fine.

I like this reply best. It summarises my own perspective on the issue.

You could of course use your PC to make 'safety copies'.
