Using car wax and detail tools to fix CD scratches?
Anybody every waxed their scratched CD with some special solution that repaired it? I was thinking about using some kinda wax to fill in those scratches and shine up the CD playing surface to new. Anyone ever been successful?

I have used wax, hand-applied. I've gotten crappy CDs from NetFlix, that wouldn't play, to play. I recommend an application of cleaner wax first, and then a wax without cleaners so that it can fill the cracks. The solution is temporary, but effective.
I don't recommend application with a buffer. That'd be needlessly difficult.

It takes 5 minutes tops to wax/buff out a CD with my bare hands. Your results are easily checked with a wipe-on-wipe-off method as well. Get a clue, durrr.
