A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

I use Solvol Autosol, chrome cleaner.

Takes about five minutes per disc, results are excellent.

Also, it's not an oxide of mercury but an oxide of iron - much less hazardous! Some rouge is even allowed to be used as a food additive.

Good god no wonder my chemistry teacher died young and I failed chemistry A level

Our local BlockBuster dvd store offers the service for a nominal fee, if it doesn't work you dont get charged.

Might be worth a try....unless there your 'private collection' ;-)

Iv'e used brasso on them.Don't polish in circles though move cloth in straight lines.It also cleans the plastic windows on my landy ragtop too.

A briliant use for them in spring/summer is as bird scarers.Tie two together shinyside out hang then over your plants.
