2008 wii sports disc Transformed

[Barry Theal]

Ok guys on my off time, I enjoy playing wii sports with the kids. Over time with a 8,7 and a 2 year old this disc suffered from some serious rids and swirls. Back in the day before mp3 players exsisted, I use to run my buffer over cd's and polish them out to stop them from skipping. Well over the last week we were facing some serious issues with my wii sports game. To be honest, I'm almost addicted to this disc as much as I am to detailing. So I decided to put my skills to test.



3000 unigrit paper

M105 Purple Foamed Wool Pad Rotory

M205 Yellow Foam Meguiars Pad Rotory

Colinite 845



Now the Before shots.

I let the paper and sanding pad sit in a bowl of water for about 15 minutes prior to sanding.

Next after some sanding I took the disc out to my shop and taped it up for a 50/50. IN the first shot you can see the haziness from the sanding. Next I taped it up to see what kinda 50/50 I could get out of this. lol I know how you guys like them shots. here are a few pics.

The chemicals of use!

I put m105 on a pinnacle wax applicater and massage it onto the cd then I held my buffer down with the trigger locked at 1200 rpms I began to buff the disc to remove the sanding marks.

Here is a 50/50 for ya.

Then I massaged on m205 using the same method and began to polish it out.

Once it was polished I did a IPA wipedown to remove all oils on the surface prior to lsp.

I used collinites 845 for the lsp I was looking for durability. I love this game and want it to hold up under them tough spinning condtions of the wii lmao

Well here is the Final shot. I even got a decent reflection out of it!

Low and behold I can finally beat up on my 7 year old at bowling again, and our days of enjoyment will go on. And no Accumulator I didn't take any ptg readings like I said before Its all eye and feel LMFAO :2thumbs:Hope you all ejoyed this one! NOw you to can fix cd's dvd's and Entertainment games!

[Apollo_Auto]

Barry, Barry he's the man, if he can't buff it, no one can! Dude that's killer that you could sand that and still be able to read it!!! I've gotta try that!

[Envious Eric]

[Underdawg736GTC]

Awsome! Hey, I have a hundred or so cd's that need to be buffed out!

 

[ohiostate]

WOW Speechless.........

 

[riceguy]

OMG thats awesome!



To think all the games thrown out because of scratches for the ps1 and ps2, couldve been fixed just like that!



This is a hard core gamers dream come true.

 

[Gig103]

Haha, that's great! How hard is it to hold that CD while the buffer is going 1200rpm? What do you think the results of ScratchX would be?

 

[MarcHarris]

that's some army ingenuity right there! might have to try this some time...

 

[osoda]

haha, funniest thread i've read in a while.



maybe you need to start a second business, restoring scratched discs. =)
