Game disc cleaning??

[stefan9]

Anyway I have a problem with two of my game discs, they keep giving me redundancy errors when trying to install. Anyway know of a way or a place that can clean your dvd's??

Tested on three separate dvd drives and two pc's. Games in question is assasins creed and sacred gold if that makes a difference.

If your local video store has a DECENT cleaner, try them first. First just a decent buff if there are no surface scratches. With scratches, then ask if they can grind the disc (very lightly at first, using the finest waterpaper available) and then buff it. I used to have a machine and offered this service to video stores and 2nd games outlets, while I still had time!! Sold it off to my buddy last year...

How do I know what's a decent cleaner?? Anything to look out for ??

I just spray some deodrant with alcohol in it on the dvd and wipe it with one of those microfiber cloths. Usually works fine for dust and dirt.

It will use a slightly abrasive compound.

You could also try Maguiars Plast-X polish.

As suggested DVD stores usually have decent cleaners/polishers as they deal with scratched discs a lot.

Took the discs to a dvd rental place but it didn't work. Still the same issue so it seems I either forget about the discs or get new copies.
