We wipe each disc as it comes back to us with a soft cloth. If it is really scratched we use some liquid car wax I purchased at Walgreens for $3.00 a bottle. I bought it over a year ago and it is still going strong. The wax fills in the small scratches. We own over 6,000 discs.
I hope this is helpful. Julia Churchill Audio Visual Supervisor Oak Lawn Public Library 9427 S.

In a related question to disc cleaning machines, does anyone know of a place to get just a liquid cleaner similar to Maxell Disc & Electronic Cleaner? Sometimes, all that's needed is a good washing - rather than a resanding. I've tried the box stores, library supply companies, Radio Shack, with no luck. Or, would just water or something like Windex work? Thanks Becky Tatar Periodicals/Audiovisuals Aurora Public Library 1 E.
