I have never tried commercial cd polishing machines. I am not sure if they really help or not. As some others have said I think it would depend on how good or poor condition the CD was already in.
I have found that some of these cd repair kits can work well. There are others that are more hype than anything when you actually use them to try to repair scratches.
