I bought a CD/DVD cleaner from Maplins a few years ago and it recovers |
| 14 |
damaged discs quite nicely. It uses an abrasive to clean and polish |
| 15 |
the surface, so it can be used only a limited number of times on any |
| 16 |
given disc -- it will eventually grind through the plastic to the foil. |
| 17 |
|

The nearest I could find on the Web, also from Maplins, was this: |

It's visually different from the one I bought, and appears to be |
| 23 |
rather less aggressive. |
