I'm convinced the sun screen lotion did in the CD, not the scratches. The scratches were in place before the CD were sun screened, and there was no skipping or errors of any sort until the sun screen got on the CD. ;-)

I don't even recall the brand of sunscreen, think it was most likely Coppertone SPF 40. I think an experiment is in order -- spread Coppertone SPF 40 on a clean CD-R (the effect is the same on CD-R's) and see if it can be reversed. :-D

Doug you can keep the CD's. Thanks for trying :-)
