Default "Machining" CD surface?

Has anyone here managed to remove scratches from CDs' (compact disks)
in a lathe?

I have a few that have been abused to the point that I can't copy them
and start over. I have tried various buffing proceedures with little
success. Any thoughts on the feasability of making a backing plate and
taking a light pass or two over the surface.


In WalMart they sell the tool to do the job, it laps the surface
RADIALLY using water to wet the surface and works very well. Ask any
kid near the CD games section and you will learn everything!
