Cosmetic Repair

Fpeel: No I havn't, never crossed my mind until you mentioned it. My wife thinks that the polish may be under the kitchen sink (contained in the three story space saving jigsaw puzzle of products that utilizes every square inch of space). As we just purchased a water filter that I have to install, I might find it in the next couple of days when I get around to the chore. It definately took light scratches off of the clear plastic that makes up the souviners. I think that it may work and will let you know. Another collector friend of hers should know the name of the product if I cannot turn it up. I have always wondered what many light scratches do to the fidelity of the disks and do not purchase used ones when they have them. I have passed up a lot of good music because of this. I have a couple of scratched CD's (did it on the jewel case) that I can try the polish on.

Looking forward to hearing the results. DK.

Fpeel: The good news is that I found the polish. It is Seapower Plasic Polish, Stock No. SPP-1, (for all plastics), "gives that non-glare, static free shine". Seapower Marine Products, a division of T.R. Industries, 11022 Vulcan St., South Gate, CA 90280 213/923-0838. The bad news is that the product had dried up and I do not have a clue as to whether it will serve our purpose. Second bad news is that I need an additional adapter to retro fit the water filter. I will give them a call (the polish people) and see if I can pick it up localy (they are south of LA near Long Beach). If it works on CD's and if I don't end up having to polish my wife's 2500 or so snowdomes, I will be a happy camper. Later.

Thanks for the info, DK. There's a West Marine near my office. It might be worth a stop to pick up a tube to try. If so I'll add the results to this discussion.

Thanks for all the info guys. Received quite a bit of feedback that's been helpful from several and well shared alike! Happy Holidays to you all! Audioplus
