Turtle wax!??! That is WAY too abrasive. There is a special compound
they sell for CD's and Laserdisc's that you can use and it gets rid of
I'd say 90% of surface scratches. It's pretty miraculous what this stuff
can do. You put a tiny dab over the scratch, give it a spritz of regular
cd cleaner and then gently rub it with a soft cloth (I think they make
special ones just for this purpose). I SERIOUSLY fucked up my SAW1 cd
and this stuff saved the day. Check out like hi-fi stores and stuff,
cause it isn't very expensive and it can really save you some serious
money. Turtle Wax....hmm!
