how to polish out scratches on laser discs

Step 2 Wax on, wax off

Lay the towel down on a flat surface and lay the disc on the towel. Open up the jar of Mother's and swab a little out with your finger tip (you did wash your hands before starting this process right?). Start working the compound onto the disc using small circular motions just as if you were washing a car. Obviously long fingernails are not conducive to this task. Use light pressure as you are doing this. You want to have enough compound to make it easy to work but don't lather it on the disc. Work your way all around the disc. It's very important you use circular polishing motions and not side to side. Allow it to dry for a few minutes and then take one of your terry cloth towels and start buffing. Once again use small circular motions. Once you've achieved a cloudy haze all around the disc move on to a clean part of the towel and re-buff till the disc shines. Don't forget to remove any compound that got on the edge of the disc or on the inner edge where the hole is. This process should have helped clear up some of the more pronounced scratches.

Now we're going to use the liquid scratch remover for the final polish. Clean your hands. Apply as per directions on bottle. Work liquid onto disc using same small circular buffing motions with fingertip. Allow to set for a few minutes. Buff out to a light haze with clean part of towel. Buff again to a shine with another clean part of towel. Lift disc up and clean up any compound that got on the edges or somehow worked its way under the disc.
