you pour tan colored goop on the CD then rub like hell with a cloth


I used to use those, until I found that plain toothpaste -- not the gel kind, but paste -- works better than anything else I've tried. A small dab on the worst spot, and then rub like hell in a circular motion. A lot less messy than the brown goop too.



I vaguely sort of remember the first kit I ever bought said to wipe in a circular motion, never in a straight line from the center out. Then every kit I've bought since then always states in bold, "be sure to wipe froim the center out, NEVER IN A CIRCULAR MOTION.

Can I get some hard knowledge on the structure of cd's to deteremine which is the correct method?
