I went back to playing my ps4 then my sis broke 1 of the cds cause she dosnt know how to friken look after herself

@@nurideenmohammad912 ?

This is not a tip for fixing, this is a tip for taking care of a disc

That's a TRUER !

Same method i used to fix my motorcycle headlamp

Sandpaper?

@@mrokonma1263 I know. Sounds weird lol. But 2,000 and 2,500 grit, or higher is super smooth. It almost doesn't even feel like sand paper. I use that grit, and 3,500 grit to sand model cars I paint to make them mirror shiny. It works lol! The real important step is buffing it at the end with polish. You godda be careful though and use a water based polish as oil based polish can deteriorate the plastic coating and ruin the disk worse than it already was.

Thank u for saving me 15 minutes I could never get back. Good looking out

I love you lol thanks

I always wonders why people said not to use paper towel why couldn’t they just explain it like you I didn’t know about wood fibers being in it because I don’t think I just realized paper is made from wood I’m dumb😭

Yes, it is known to most people wearing glasses (plastic) that papertowel is the best method to cause scratches and destroys the thin polaroid layer the fastest

It's not wood but silica that destroy the CD. Papertowel is made from recycled paper and cardboard.

I was going to say the same thing. I learnt the hard way by using a damp paper towel to clean some bird droppings off my car. It left tiny scratches all over the area which I had to polish out making the job more involved than it should have been!

@Shane888 DaviesYou are wrong, there are minerals in wood fibres, notably sulphur, phosphorus, chlorine, silicon, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron and sodium. That's why ashes don't burn and why in ancient times people used to wash their clothes with wood ashes. You won't go to bed so stupid tonight...

I have an unreadable disc for nsmb wii and want to fix it for riivolution

@Mia Cardani nice

@Mia Cardani I had a similar issue with some of my wii discs back when it was more relevant

@Mia Cardani same

Dude cmon no one cares abt your in quarantine stuff everyone’s in quarantine we don’t need to be reminded

I know thats why I didnt do that

You should pin your comment so it is at the top of the comment ?

You should pin this comment at the root oot the comments under the video

@@Lithillia lol fuck didn't even see your comment. .just said the same thing

Game Over does this method also work for Xbox 360 games?

It worked because he uses a random orbital sander/polisher at the end to remove all the other scratches. I've heard both sides of theory though. If you go back and forth you get U shape cuts on the disc, circular avoids that by make all cuts two sided Us. As long as you polish to a mirror, all the scratches are so small it won't matter what method you use. It just might be longer or harder for one vs the other.

He polished it with machine, that is probably the reason. But I think polihing with circular motion should work too, but it takes like whole year to polish it to mirror manualy, when you polish something with radial movement, it looks polished enough, but when you look carefully, there are mostly still radial scratches visible, but yes, I would say that radial polishing makes better results when you do it manualy. That machine is called excentric polishing mahine (I am not sure about correct name in English, it's probably something else), we use it even in furniture making factory, it rotates (but not strongly, you can easily stop it with your hand) but that's just secondary motion, it brushes mainly by excentric motion, you can imagine it like you do circular move with your hand with brush paper and someone else is doing another circular motion with your hand which is doing circular motion too, when you use it properly, it should finish surface with no little scratches.

Has always straight up and down.

if you dont polish it long enough, you see the face of the person who will kill you. just keep going!

run

Stop sipin' the polish!

What was it silent hill 2?

try looking at it directly, not at an angle... but then again if you're seeing the dead looking back at you in that reflection, then you've got other problems and need to call a priest

Ikr. I am pissed off cuz I cant find my fave ps2 game. Gotta go searching the attic tomorrow to find a game which will innevitably need to be fixed

Yo I'm doing the same on my 360 even tho I have Xbox one but I don't have many games for it

Me too

Did you too used all your scratched discs to play frisbies?

@@UKpowerunleashed I used the scratched discs of no return as Frisbees then sometimes throw them as har d I can at a wall and watch them shatter. It was a pretty funny childhood

can you give us a link? :) so ppl can see what it looks like?

im glad to hear it worked for you :)

😁😁

I mean I paid £2 for a £35 game buts its scratched to shit, whenever I get this stuff I will try to fix it lol

@@SimulationEvolve lol, that's like my way of doing crap, but at times I also fail...Or worse, don't know how to do it

That's exactly what I did with battlefront 2

@@loop5720 bro I got this 500 dollar rate game I found at my cousins and I want to fix it and re sell it

No, most scratches are due to the discs tossed around and not returned to their cases immediately after use.

It's also much cheaper than having it done by a machine designed for the purpose.

U better back up those cds. By ripping their contents with a burner. Wait till you hear about disk rot.

@@isaiah4478 I have never had that happen. I have PS1 discs, that all still works perfectly. Not saying that disc rot is not a thing, but I have never experienced it, even with discs over 30 years old.

@@TucBroder it will happen to all cd's eventually, but storage conditions will impact it quite a bit. keep cd in cool/dry place with low humidity to mitigate disk rot

@@vinegreen3242 Yeah, that's what I'm doing. We'll see when it happens, but so far all my PS1 and PS2 games work perfectly...

May i ask what brand specific you use? I'm not gonna risk sanding my old cd's.. i know myself i'll just destroy them :D

@@jens8942 I use organic buffing compound.. specifically Aqua-Buff 2000. Call them up and ask for a sample and they'll send you enough to do 100's of discs. 3M compounds and others contain petroleum distillates and/or silica which is harmful to the plastic and your lungs so I don't use them. I follow up with Mother's Mirror Glaze. I finish with a synthetic spray wax, again Mother's brand. It works for most light surface scratching. Clean soft microfiber cloth for each step is necessary.

@@thishandleisnotavailable Thanks mate, gonna look it up and order it ! 👍👍

Ya, not sure why he using a paper towel after all that work to repair the disk. Paper towel are abrasive and cause more harm. Need to stick with a microfiber cloth.

Not that hard to get sandpaper

thank you for your feedback :)

Yeah, when you buy used games, the disc can sometimes look horrendous, like people have been taking them out in a sandstorm.

@@TucBroder I bought cod ww2 for £10 at GAME and theres so many scratches on it bruh, i cant even play past a certain mission because the game keeps shutting down 😭

@@edgarallanpoe209 😞

that's a crazy story

Actually, the toothpaste fixes are not fake. Toothpaste is like polish, it has finer grit in it compared to a sand paper just like polish and we all know what polish is used for (:

Aaron Ryder I try it every time it doesn’t work

@@abdullahmufti I used toothpaste on my God of War 2 disc, which is very scratched, and it works. Though it still has the scratches, it works

check out my new video :D i will make one with toothpaste to kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m9h7o5N5x8WqYGg.html

People are 🤦🏻‍♂️ like how you can NOT feel that it’s rough. Gotta use common sense.

True dat

I tried

Hard to do that when you’re not around, then you come back and one of the games you spent the most time on has a fucking deep cut too damaging to be repaired.

YES! I bought a wii lot from a family, basically a ton of games and whatnot with the Wii, well I'm now noticing after gifting this to my daughter and playing it, all the games are scratched and some don't work. I flash back to when I picked it up and I saw at least 3 little ones near the door so.. I can thank them for me finding these fixes.. little jerks. My kid knows to take care of discs and she's not even 5 yet.

You don’t have kids huh? Mmm yea I can see that

im happy you made it work :)

You can rub the polish in by hand right and it still work?

@@TechMatticz I don't have a polishing machine so yes I did it by hand you got to apply Abit of pressure but be careful not to break it

did u use a polishing machine too? i dont have one

@@abdelbacchus549 what all did you use cause I want to repair a gta 5 disc as well

What type of metal polish did you use? I was looking at Autosol brand.

Its worth it for albums or games you can't find other copies of. There's quite a few of my cds from when I used to go to local shows that I can't find copies of some of the bands albums to replace

im happy to hear that you like my guide :) i also spent allot of time on the setup and the information. if you have any questions just ask in the comments :)

How did it go?

@@Anonymouthfulbro never responded and it’s been 3 years 😢

We are still waiting on a update sir xD

Completely forgot I made this comment years ago lol. Been using this method with all my DVDs and CDs for a while now. Never fails to bring my discs back to life!

exactly spends 3 hrs to polish then uses paper towel 🤦‍♀️ at least use microfiber

@RM - 06VK 845715 Fallingbrook MS yes cotton swap shouldn’t also be used? the best is a new micro fiber cloth, best are the ones used to clean glasses

Did it work?

Check out my new video where I prove its the same cd /game. its a full recorded video with no cuts :D kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m9h7o5N5x8WqYGg.html

is it gonna work even with DVD-R cd's?

@@snow4562 possible depends on the depth of the scratching

Man said small but important things but thx

Thanks 👍

Wouldn't this happen over time on old CD/DVD readers then. Since every brand/quality uses more/less plastic on the underside? Pretty sure CDr and DVDr are usually thinner than majority of regular DVD/CDs. I measured a few CDs and got a few hundredths of a millimeter difference between each disk.

You said many things without providing any source. How do you know all that?

Everything you're claiming is not practical or within the skill set for basically anyone who has a scratched disc and just wants to get it to play. No one will know how to even begin to go about doing any of it.

THANK YOU, I was about to place an order on sandpaper on amazon, now I won't. Do you have any suggestions for paste and polish though?

​@@joel3683 No problem, as having someone tell me that when I first needed would have been neat! In the meantime, the can of polisher that i got (apparently 2 years ago) turned out to be a godsend, since every once in a while when you buy a used disc things dont work 100% unfortunately :( As for tips for applying the polisher to a disc, im no expert by any means, but what i can say is that you can expect to spend at least close to 1 hour regarding the whole ordeal, if you are doing it by hand that is, of course. What i usually do, is get a bit of the polisher into a soft cloth, and then spread the thing all over the surface of the disc. After that, i either rub it softly in circular motions or try to apply more pressure to it by going for more straight strokes. Either way, the polisher will eventually wear out, so when that happens, i take another slightly moist cloth and wipe any leftover polish from the disc, attempting afterwards to see if the disc in now in full working condition. If the disc is still giving you problems, repeat the process, either going for the soft movements, or the more pressure heavy strokes. Alternate between those two until the disc is in working condition, but as i said before, if you've spent close to an hour on one disc and after experimenting with it, it is still not giving you any signs of improvement, then unfortunately it may be a lost cause :( Also to clear any confusion since you mention "paste", i assume you are not talking about toothpaste and are talking about liquid polisher, since some folks like to preach toothpaste as a DYI solution but it personally never worked for me.

@@luischavesdev thank you so much bro! I screenshot this and will be referring to this when I start looking online for it and trying out the process myself, and yeah i was talking about regular paste (like the 2 used in the video) not tooth paste. Should I get the 2 in those links? Because idk if I want to spend $30 on paste😅. I heard people talking about water based ones that are meant for plastic to make sure you're not gonna make it deteriorate in the future so which one did you use and could you send a link for it? Or at least tell me the name

Warm hot water
