Need to clean some cds


I have a bunch of superficial scratches. They don't seem to make any errors in the music, but they look like shit. Is there a type of cloth I could use to make my cds look cleaner?

Thanks

I've seen some used CD stores use a bench/wheel grinder with a buffing wheel to buff the surfaces clear of the superficial scratches... wierded me out at first, but they really looked great after a couple quick passes, and the ones I took home play perfectly and look like new. Just like the instructions on a can of paint or stain, however, my advice would be: test first on a scrap piece!

I've succeeded in actually creating more scratches than I had before with some commercial CD-wipes (yes, I cleaned the larger debris and particles off first - the wipes were just not very soft), so I'm taking a "hands-off" approach for the moment. Interested to hear what suggestions others come up with.

Cheers,
Mike
