Bit of an odd question but hoping someone can point me in the right direction or give me some handy hints as to what I can do....

My Dad bought DS his 'First CD' over the weekend and upon playing it yesterday I realised the last 6 or so songs are skipping quite badly. So i removed from the car stereo to find lots of black chips/marks around the outside...almost looks like the boy has chewed it but the top side of CD is fine and I don't think he had the chance to do so. I'm not sure how the marks got there or what they are. I tried wiping but can't see them budging.

Anyone know of any handy home hints in regards to rectifying/restoring scratched/ damaged CD's so they can play normally again?

I'm sure I've heard/read somewhere before that there are services out there that can restore, can anyone point me in the right direction (ie. suggest what shop I'd go to, to get such a service) and how much it may cost me?

If its going to cost more than $20 I will just replace the CD (Not that I really want to, it's Justin Bieber LOL....need I say more?). DS is rather upset its not playing the songs properly so I wanna get a solution asap before he goes and blurts the bad news to Poppa!

And aside from the JB CD it would be handy to know this for future reference, i have lots of CD's with baby photos on them that are heavily scratched!

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help

Pop along to your local video store and see if they'll resurface them for you. I did that at my local Video Ezy and they charged me $20 to do 10 of them.

Yeah I can only suggest the Dick Smith idea (dp got some stuff for one of his games) or going to Vid Ezy (we did that with some DVDs and they didn't mind at our one).
