    I did my lights with one of those kits at advance (someone opened it so they gave it to be for a buck) it has sand paper,polish, and some clear hard coating it helped some, but I did find all my cracks are on the inside of the capsule

    just when you use the tooth pase, dont use the whitening or any thing special, just regular toothpase seems to be best, and I always use a soft cloth for application and gentile cold water w/ microfiber to remove when finished

    Cool, you should do a write up on that, even if it is for cleaning a CD up. That would be good information to build from.

    Id like to see a good write up on that with pictures, the whole process and so forth. Nearly everyone I have heard of doing it has had some sort of sealing issues.
