How to Remove Scratches From DVD's.

How to remove scratches from DVD’s.

There are many people who get movies and eventually they get scratches on them to where they will not play on a DVD player anymore or will skip. This can be very annoying and frustrating. Many times this happens to your favorite movies that you own and you do not want to go out and spend more money to buy that movie again. In this case there are a couple things you can try to get the scratches off your DVD.

The first thing you can try is going to a movie rental store and they have a cleaning machine that will get many of the scratches off the disc. Many places will charge a small fee of one to three dollars to perform this task. It is a safe way to get scratches off a DVD and will not damage the movie anymore than it already is. The only problem with this is it might not take all the scratches off the disc. I would definitely suggest doing this task first though before attempting the next option I am going to list.

If you find out that the machine at the movie rental stores did not fix your DVD, you can go to a local store and purchase Brasso. This is a home cleaner and polish that protects many items. It leaves a smooth polished surface and creates a beautiful shine. This is a good item to use on DVDs because it will take large scratches off. You will just need to put a very little bit of Brasso on a cotton swab. Gently polish the damaged area of your DVD using a small circular motion until the scratch disappears or at least tames the scratch. Now just rinse the disc and try playing it in your DVD player.

I would not try the Brasso if the disc only has a few scratches on it because it may ruin the DVD more and not be playable at all. I only suggest the Brasso if the disc does not play at all or is 95% unreadable. I have had several friends use this product on DVD’s that had scratches and it made their DVD’s look brand new and worked great. There is always that small chance though that it will make things worse. That is why I suggest using this product only if you have nothing to lose.
