Default Any stores that offer CD scratch removal?
Just curious if anyone knows of a store that offers this service. I know you can buy a few things to do this but it's only needed on one CD. Thanks!

So you're saying that Best Buy will probably do it?

use some white toothpaste with baking soda, the more simple the ingredient list the better.

If you have a Hollywood Video by you with a GameCrazy in it, they will clean your CD's. They use to do it for me back in the day.

Tried that, doesn't work for the deeper scratches, only light/mild ones. When I say deep, I mean you can't feel the scratch but it can't be removed by home remedies either.

Look around, I'm sure you can buy a CD cleaning machine at Best Buy, Walmart or somewhere that carries CD's. I bought one years ago and it works pretty good.

I know I can buy one, it's not worth it for one CD though.

An investment in one of these will save you a ton of money in the future.

Yeah, but it's not like you wouldn't ever use it again. You'll always have CD's that need to be cleaned up a little bit.

yeah, I bought a scratch remover for like $20 probably 5-8 years ago, and it has saved numerous CDs, and DVDs, and was well worth the money.
