What method does everyone use to clean discs? I heard of a method using toothpaste, lol. I heard you can easily get rid of scratches using it. What are all those companies offering to restore your discs to the "brand new" condition actually using to do so? They charge very little for it anyway. -Mike
They probably use Disk Doctor or something like it. That's what i use if my disks are scratched. If my disks are dirty i'll just use warm water and mabey soap to clean it.
don't use toothpaste as it will scratch the cd/dvd disk unless it is a gel toothpaste maybe. dish detergent, warm water & a very soft cloth
I normally use rubbing alcohol,which is what they sell people at the store in a little bottle over priced to be honest.Disk Doctor for scratches and if the discs are dirty I use a memorex automatic cleaner.I manually use the disk doctor though,don't ever go the wrong way when cleaning or repairing scratches.You should always turn in a clockwise motion.If you turn counter clockwise it will make the discs useless.I often hear people say that disk doctors will damage the discs,but it is actually the people who should be faulted for not following the directions right.All I can say is be carefull when fixing scratches using a disk doctor.
1 use a soft cloth and rub from the center of the disk to the edge of the disk, never rub circumfrential as if it scratches ir could be wrecked. 2 using a soft cloth and a bit of cheap aftershave you can remove paw marks from the disks, wipe afterwards with a dry soft cloth. 3 if the disk is scratched you could use the soft cloth, some cheap aftershave and sometooth polish or toothpaste, this will however scratch the disk but will usually allow you to get the computer reading the scratched sectors, wipe afterwards with a dry soft cloth. you sould also try using cotton buds and some cheap aftershave and sometooth polish or toothpaste. I've used the above successfully to rescue several DVD's. I use tooth powder as I have some in the garage and it's not too abrasive for use on DVD's. I use the cheap aftershave as I don't have any ISO alcohol and it's cheap
The wipes you get from KFC or baby wipes polish them up a treat...............Also gives them a nicer aromer aswell.................
i tried the toothpaste trick once for a laugh but it didn't work. However when i checked the disc properly it couldn't have been saved anyway as sunlight had got to it, it was all stained and yack
it was just gross, but not in a dirty way, it was just not on - the state that the disc was in i mean. I can't remember what the disc was , but it still played, i just couldn't copy it (it may have been an audio cd, really can't remember)
Hahaha lol I was wondering that myself ddp kinda clueless to what it means.Funny word though,let us know what the slang means man.
I was wondering is that the sound a lamma makes.I think that is the sound of a lamma not sure,could be wrong on this.
we use it to mean 'urgh'. just found this tho - http://www.bartleby.com/61/24/Y0002400.html and this - http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?i...5&prev=/images?q=yack&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&sa=N
Argh, Yack I know it well, usually on a Friday night after several beverages and a masala................
Alcohol for fingerprints and stuff. When it comes to scratches I have no idea! I just make another copy, thats what I have a burner for!
I really should look after my discs more, whenever they have a mark or whatever, I just breath on them to fog them up then wipe them with my sleeve, so lazy.. lol -Mike
