Disc Cleaning
Not quite sure where to put this, but I figured here would be fine...
I recently found some old PSX games (without their cases, of course), and they're quite filthy. They're covered in dust as well as whatever the hell else has accumulated over the years on them. Are there any good "cleaning methods" for cleaning discs? I'm quite paranoid about scratching up the discs more than they already are, so, I don't want to screw around and experiment with anything (Toothpaste? You're shitting me). Is there anything I should avoid using, and anything you've found effective for cleaning shit off your discs? I'm also looking for any products that fill scratches on discs, as well, if anyone has any ideas for that. Google wasn't too helpful with either of these -- rather, I found some questionable methods. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Do you have a small local game store that you frequent? They usually do it for free for me should the need ever arise.
If not, I used those cloths with the fine fiber that you use to clean eyeglasses and stuff. Just blow off any large chunks of dirt on your disk before wiping off dust and such with the cloth. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Water and a microfibre cloth are all you should need.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

Put it in boiling water for a several seconds then take it out.
How ya doing, buddy? |
I just use alcohol, thought i've heard toothpasting works somehow (though I've never seen it myself).
I was speaking idiomatically. |
Microfibre cloth (sold in most electronic stores as disc cleaning cloths) and normal tap water. Hell you could even do it with a nice soft T-shirt and running water.
Wipe the discs starting from the center, straight out to the edge. Rotate the disc a little and do it again. Neve wipe in a circular motion. Always inside->out.

FELIPE NO |
This site pretty much explains how a CD works, and how to care for, store, and clean them properly.

Dusters. The yellow ones. For marks that don't need to be wet off, dusters kill fingerprints and everything. They're amazingly good. Or get the game fucking resurfaced. o.o

CD Doctor and brasso do wonders.
Brasso is apparetly better even though it's more abrasive. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Simple for me, hand soap (non-sanitizer strength) and a towel. I just rub the soap in a up/down motion, wash it off and dry the CD with a hand towel. I have yet to create more read errors for a CD/DVD by doing this. In fact it helps immensley.

I tried an experiment with a friend with cleaning discs. All we had was Brasso and a scratched Simpsons DVD. So we tried and we found out that polishing with filtered Brasso (there are some solid lumpy things in Brasso) kinda fixes scratches. the scratches were still evident but hey, it worked
