Title: dvd scratch remover (help!)
Post by: comitatus on Oct 06, 2009 at 11:16 AM: i've been collecting anime dvds, as a big part of my hobby and to cut the story short my friend (who is new to anime) borrowed disc 1 of my rurouni kenshin (region 2) box set. sad to say it came back heavily scratched! i'm really sooo depressed bec the darn thing cost my hubby 900usd!!!

here is the set and it's price:

ang mahal na, out of print pa! my husband forumer carlo777, says it's ok along with my other friends (not collectors). when i tell people about it... they think i'm peeped up crazy, and that i'm going overboard with my collection and that i'm way too nit picky!

i don't want my husband to run off and buy another set just bec of 1 disc, and dahil din napakamahal niya...guys are there products that can remove scratches? what can i do...i feel really bad...did not even go to work today...sorry for the rant, but i think this is the only forum with people who could understand my being too "over" with my collection :'(

This is the newer version, goes for $17 at Amazon.

thank you sir, i'll look at the product carefully...is there no other way to restore the "look" of the dvd without the whirls?
