[QUOTE="vleisman, post: 905090, member: 456"] 1. Get a scratched record 2. Buy a nail buffing thingie from Clicks (or steal your wife/girlfriends) 3. Lighty (very lightly) buff the scratch out - I used the roughest setting first, but I'm guessing a smoother option may also work for shallow scratches 4. Finish off with the smoothest side 5. Wash the record 6. Dry the record 7. Play the record I don't see any reason why it won't work for long scratches, as long as they are not too deep. To me the key is to take it slow and easy. * I realise this isn't the most helpful post, but it's really not difficult. I see Clicks have a more expensive model, probably for audiophile records :giggle: https://clicks.co.za/the-body-shop_nail-block/p/34853?gclid=CjwKCAiAs8XiBRAGEiwAFyQ-erejHA5tigL7mDFFDCL9ImmU8W1bwfDHer9BU8ZAy4ixgmWgIyfiRBoClVwQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds [/QUOTE]
