Hello, I'd like to know how to remove scratches from a GameCube CD. I have a CD Skip Doctor to clean CDs, but the size of the GameCube CD is too small, so I have to do several of them. However, some of my GameCube CDs don't work very well.
Configuration: Mac OS X Safari 523.15

Good evening,
As for me, not trusting machines that cost 30 euros, which often leave traces and even worsen the appearance of the CD by leaving circular marks, nor having a machine that costs around 3000 euros (the professional water ones) on hand,
I first tested on a scratched CD that I don’t use much to avoid taking risks:
- Toothpaste => no success, even to be discouraged.
- Vitroceramic cream => does not scratch, cleans but with little success on the scratches.
- Banana peel => cleans without damaging.
So the best for me, currently tested (on my 2 Gamecube CDs "Zelda Wind Waker" and the bonus "Ocarina" which have quite a few micro-scratches for one and moderately for the other) and having had good results.
You will need:
Miror Copper Formula, deodorized petroleum, an eraser, a very soft microfiber cloth, and a small cloth provided in eyeglass cases.
1) To start, pour some Miror onto the CD/DVD in question and then spread it with your microfiber cloth in small circular motions (if there isn’t enough Miror, add a little more).
2) Next, (still with the Miror on the CD) take your eraser and gently erase your CD in circular motions (from the inside to the outside of the CD, going all around it evenly); repeat the operation, applying a bit more pressure with the eraser; you should feel some adherence (it erases, after all :D) but always evenly and circularly.
3) Take your microfiber cloth (on the other side without Miror) and soak it in deodorized petroleum, and still in circular motions, gently wipe your CD to remove the Miror and any residual eraser marks. Repeat if there’s still Miror left.
4) Your CD will still be slightly damp from the petroleum. At this stage of the operation, take your mini cloth (the one found in eyeglass cases or for some brand-name glasses) and gently and evenly polish your CD in circular motions from the inside to the outside until your CD is dry and without marks.
5) If the result doesn’t satisfy you, repeat the entire operation while applying a bit more pressure with the eraser.
For my part, I’ve reduced the micro-scratches by over half. If you have any other methods, I’m interested :)

Même question cher, pas pour le densificateur, ça ne marche pas, ni pour le congélateur ni pour le four, ça ne marche pas. Mais la bougie, je n'ai pas encore essayé, mais ça devrait marcher.
