I tried it and it helped with the badly damaged rental.

Thank You thank you

I just did it to a cd that I got from the library. American Soldier, by Gen. Tommy Franks, It is the first cd I tried to copy and it has a skip in track 5. I thought all was lost. I tried copying it again and again. Then I read this note. I tried the grease on my nose and it fixed the skip. So I will re-copy this disc.

Thanks Again

Just don't let the disk get too hot, I had an old game that I kept polishing, the one day it got hot, And, well, it got full of tiny little cracks( they don't come out and ruin a disk)
