I’ve heard furniture polish, vaseline, peanut butter, toothpaste and such. What works?

Good product. Personally, I don’t really use optical media anymore as USB storage is so cheap now. I can fit a whole binder of data CDs onto a device the size of a fingernail (which doesn’t get scratched). Something to look into if you’re interested.

May 19, 2016 3:46 pm at 3:46 pm #1152119zahavasdadParticipantWhat a CD?
Is that some ancient device?

It gets scratched a lot.
May 19, 2016 4:09 pm at 4:09 pm #1152121feivelParticipantI wouldn’t recommend toothpaste.
May 19, 2016 4:17 pm at 4:17 pm #1152122☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantAt least mouthwash, I hope.
