Default scratched cds

For basic cleaning, I have always used neat washing up liquid - a good one
like Fairy rather than a cheapo own-brand. A small squib put on neat, then
worked in with the thumbs in radial centre to outside movements, will
quickly remove any greasy deposits and finger marks. I then finish off by
running the disc under a warm tap, until the detergent has all gone. Dry
off on a clean soft tea towel, then polish with a soft cloth.




That's right, all you have to do is reduce the damage to a level where the
error correction can cope...


Does anyone remember when CDs were first about, and Tomorrow's World
demo'd how you could roll them in fag ash, wipe them, and they would still
play, but a vinyl disc wouldn't ... ??



Mine do! :-)
