who doesn't? [/b][/quote] Mine are all still in relatively good condition, so there goes your theory.
My CDs aren't scratched, either. I've had Hybrid Theory for, like, four years now and it's not scratched. It's smudged but not scratched.
None of mine are really scratched either because they're either in the CD player or in the case. I don't really buy CDs anymore or use them though.

You have to rub on it for 20 minutes? Cos some sites say you put it on and leave it to dry. Also some sites say Do Not rub in a circular pattern, yet others say Work In Circles towards outer rim. Weird. PS. Does RainX work?
I don't know about RainX. And well, usually you're supposed to rub in the direction of the scratch. However, if you're like me and have scratches everywhere, I'd just rub in a circular motion and see if you see any improvement in a certain are after a few minutes. If not, try buffing it in another way. Leaving it dry wont do anything and will just make your CD disgusting. You have to 'buff' out the scratches first (buff it much like you'd buff a car basically) and then stop after you see a considerable improvement to test it out. When you're done, your CD will be cloudy so wait a minute or two, then go ahead and wash the stuff off until the CD looks good and shiny, then just let it airdry. The first time may fix your CD completely or not at all depending on the severity. I just suggest you go over it once really good (that's why 15-25 mins is my recommendation) and then if it looks improved, test it out. If it plays better but still showcases considerable error, try some more. Just do not use an abrasive cloth as it'll mess it up more. Someone who used the same method to restore his IPod to completely new condition used a 'microfiber' cloth which worked rather well. My only suggestion is to buy brasso, start with two to three drops and just buff as you would a car (i.e. not EXTREMELY hard but with some pressure).

Yes sir, but make sure your cloth doesn't have abrasive qualities to it, or else..you're fucked. Mechanical, did your CD work after you tried this?
