Throw a "*" at the end of 3-letter search terms. While your results end up a little wider than you might like, it, at least, gets you some results.
As Cartman would say....

"Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet"

Thanks for that advice, I never thought of doing it before.

I work at a video store, and I can say without a doubt that the Disc Dr. line of scratch removal devices hurts discs more than they fix them. I bought one just to try it, spent 3 hours trying to resurface a mildly scratched disc, and ended up with a coaster. it tends to resurface the discs almost, but not quite, up to the very edge, thus making the discs unplayable.

Without comment on the rest of your comments, good or bad, if you didn't get them resurfaced from playable edge to playable edge, you did it wrong. It's pretty easy to do wrong. Also, if your Dr., cloths, etc. are not completely clean, you can easily damage discs instead of fixing them. All wet sanding is like this on whatever product. It takes a bit of practice and trial and error to get it right.

I'd love a professional product that does a better job, anybody know what/where/how much?
