DVD / CD Scratch Repair - Polishing Cloths

Polishing Damaged DVD and CD's

Polishing Cloths
Cloths for polishing vary by the height of their fiber, known as the nap and by the stiffness or resiliency of the fiber. In general, the lower nap (also non-woven) and stiffer fiber cloths are used for the rough polishing steps. These types of polishing cloths or pads are very effective in removing scratches in DVD's and CD's. Conversely, higher napped polishing cloths provide a more gentle abrasive interaction for the final polish.

POLISHING CLOTH SELECTION GUIDELINE

	POLYPAD Polishing Pad - this cloth is a synthetic polyester polishing pad which has a similar action to a nylon pad, with the exception that it is much more durable. It is used in the intermediate polishing steps
	TEXPAN Polishing Pad - this is the most commonly used polishing cloth material for the intermediate polishing steps. TEXPAN Polishing pad is a non-woven polishing pad.
	DACRON Polishing Cloth - this is a low napped polishing pad for polishing primarily with 1-15 micron diamond abrasives. The DACRON pad is the most popular intermediate polishing pad in Europe and is used mostly for polishing metals. Its high nap provides it a very soft and gentle polishing action. Note: DACRON is a registered trade name of DUPONT Corporation.
	Black CHEM 2 Polishing Pad - this is a porometric polymer pad which has a consistency similar to a rubber type of pad. Black CHEM pad has a low nap but behaves as an intemediate polishing pad with a performance between low napped and high napped pads.
	MICROPAD Polishing Cloth - this is the most common high napped final polishing pad for most metals and polymers. Its high nap provides it a very soft and gentle polishing action.
	NAPPAD Polishing Pad - this is another high napped final polishing pad useful for most metals and polymers. It has a higher nap than MICROPAD, providing it with a very gentle polishing action which is very useful for polishing soft materials such as copper, aluminun and austentite steels.
	MOLTEC Polishing Pad - this is wool polishing cloth used for final polishing and has a very high nap. It is most commonly used for final polishing metals where edge retention is a minimal consideration.
