How fast is Meguire's Plastic Polish? 27.43 seconds?
It takes a couple of minutes, and the surface always remains shiny, not matte surface like Mark74 describes.

Meguire's Plastic Polish will fix any scratch that hasn't deformed the mylar playing surface underneath. It works wonders. toothpaste is slow, but it works.
Errors aren't a very serious problem with CDs. They are designed to be played and they do a very good job of it. No need to obsess over it. In fact, beat up old players that have fallen out of alignment probably cause more errors than CDs that have received normal care. Honestly, I don't know why people even waste energy discussing it, because anyone who owns a CD player and uses it regularly knows that most of the time they either play well or they don't play at all.

I'm now on the lookout for said type of CD polisher. Not seen many, though can recall seeing "manual" polishers a while back (not motorised); think they 'guide' your polishing motion, but perhaps they slow you down.I only wish I met a friend with a CD ( disc...) polishing machine earlier...
Didn't know of these; will definitely be getting some.Rather than polishing out scratches, many of these work by filling in surface scratches with plastic,
I'm lost on that one - I always go non-stop until my wrist gives up, then try out the disc. Is this a special type of toothpaste; what does the toothpaste do when you let it sit on the CD undisturbed for 10 minutes ?takes from start to finnish about 20 minutes, half of that is waiting for the toothpaste to do it's magic
As a matter of fact, I do make a AMQR CD-R copy of EVERY commercially available CD I have recorded;
Off the bat I must say I have quite a bit of respect for all studio recording engineers - in any field people at the coal face seem to learn a lot, and they seem to have to learn it quickly.
If the above image summarizes the AMQR process, it would suggest that it makes it easier for an optical drive to read the bits (or the "pits", as it were).
But, a non-AMQR CD should sound the same as an AMQR CD as long as the optical drive can read both discs without uncorrectable errors. Is that a fair statement Analog ?
Is somebody still using CDs?
