My Elm Eco Master never leaves a white ring in the middle and always leaves it mirror finish. Even on the really bad discs max ran through the machine is two times. Yes, each game has a certain amount of times to resurface before no good, so why not do it correctly the first time with the absolute best resurfacing machine on the market. It also does 50 discs at a time.

Wow another great video i am starting to get good at polishing these discs up by hand and am getting good results, still getting micro scratch's and don't know how to get rid of them maybe you know of a better way sense you are the expert, also do plan on doing a video on deep scratch removal like using micromesh pads it would be so helpful have a handful of discs with deeper scratch's and because of that even though they are much better they still skip, and lastly do you plan on making a video on blue rays and also how to use a machine correctly, keep up the good work. thanks Theo

This is older, but been watching. I have an old Smackdown game for PS2 that was pretty scratched up. Game works but some of the music and video on the screens during the entrances are messed up. Tried polishing twice and still the same. Do I do a few more rounds of polishing, or am I screwed?

@RestoreAndReplay
@RestoreAndReplay Ай бұрын
RUN! But honestly you can either sit down and mitigate all of the mold. Or look up some repro cover arts. Mold cleaning and restoration is a not fun process, so I don't blame people for not wanting to do it. But you can start by leaving the art and disc and manuals out in indirect sunlight for a halfhour to kill off the mold.

30:29 I’m using Novus 2 on a PS2 copy of Batman Begins. Before I put any polish on it (Simple isopropyl job at first) the game ran not perfectly by any means but no big issues. I’m 3 quarters into the game and it’s beginning to skip really bad. Music and sounds are repeating like a broken record. Well that’s actually been removed a bit with some polishing. I can get through the interrogation with some annoying freezes but otherwise less technical issues. After all that I can’t make it past a door. Some enemy’s are supposed to come out so I can move forward and also sneak behind and knock them out. I had to look it up to see what’s supposed to happen. Sue me. I think I’m justified this time.

Hello, I just had a brief question that you kind of got into in this video, but I'm not sure if I got it all. I wanted to clean a bunch of game cases and cover arts from a lot of games that someone gave me. I was just wondering if all I needed to do to clean the cases was to soak them in a tub or sink or warm water and soap? Were there any other steps you'd recommend other than just doing that, and them drying them all afterwards? There is also a bit of a smokey smell to them. Thank you!
@RestoreAndReplay

Toss those cases (without the cover arts or games) in a sink full of warm soapy water! Let them soak for about a half hour and take them out. Give them a rinse and see how they are looking! Rinse and repeat as needed!

So I tried this method on a lightly scratched $3 dollar game before going in on my more expensive titles. It removed the big scratches for sure, but now the scratchless parts of the disc are loaded with micro scratch swirls. I have tried cotton, micro fiber, and polishing pads. I have tried varying amounts of pressure and novus 2. After a few hours of attempting by hand, I went and got a polishing pad for my drill for further testing. Novus 2 seems too abrassive. It will took out the larger scratches, but literally filled my disc with micro scratches.
@RestoreAndReplay
@RestoreAndReplay 3 ай бұрын
You used a drill? I never recommend doing that. You can get a mirror finish using Novus 2, you just have to reduce the amount of Novus you use. It won’t fill your disc with micro scratches, part of the process is polishing out those as well. Same process as with headlights or car polishing. Sounds like something got weird though, maybe the drill? Can you provide some pictures?

@@RestoreAndReplay They look like the swirl marks on discs done in a jfj easy pro with the white pad and not the softer yellow one. Just tiny light swirl marks. I know you didn't recommend the drill. I was just in the mood the mood to mess around and find out on a $3 game no one cares about. I have a perfectly clean GTA 5 install disk with no play disk that I will run a test on tomorrow to try and reproduce the swirls, and take some pictures.
