Disc repairing service advice?

PooBrain · 7 Apr 2013 at 11:51

Can anybody recommend me a disc repair service that i can get my games done. My FIFA 13 and Hitman Absolution need a layer sanding down and the repair machines in GAME, CeX and ASDA are not the right sort to do it.

Something like this:

If any of you have used one before could you let me know?

Thanks.

Have you tried toothpaste and water, works well for smaller scratches.

Yes, haha.

I used that method on my COD 3 & 4 years ago and it worked but these scratches on FIFA and Hitman run a little deeper.

CDs and headlights are both made from polycarbonate, so this does seem like the most sensible solution. Googling also suggests that it works.

How do you manage to scratch a CD anyway? They are either in a box or in a drive.

Nieces got their claws on them.

I returned my Blackops 2 DVD back to activision, as it was within the 30 days of it coming out. Free of charge, except postage.

Worked out great. Brand new game in celophone returned to me. Can you do the same?
