Reddit says maybe slowboat records, but that was 3 years ago.  Or DIY with Brasso or similar ;D Might be worth a try on a cheap disc; seems it's quite a common DIY method.

Thanks, I'll give them a call. Ive done the old toothpaste, brasso etc before and generally it does work. I was looking at something automated but the machines have mixed reviews unless you spend thousands.

If you try yourself, go from the inside out, do not go in circles.

The CD player reads from the inside out and can cope with scratches where are it can not cope with rings ( does that make sense)
