Not yet, I'll try it tomorrow. We actually have Eucerin around here somewhere so I'll use that.

Eucerin lacks perfumes and colors many lotions have which is why I personally use it.

Yes,true,but it could contain other chemicals that can increase oxidizations in certain plastics. Whats good for the skin isn't always good for plastics. Same goes for plastics,whats good for them isn't always so great for our skin.Different chemical needs.

Wouldn't a re-surfacing of the disc remove this material anyways?  And the disc already doesn't play.  I've used it a lot on discs without a problem myself.  It doesn't burn them like my perfume will.

It wouldn't "burn" them,but oxidation can make the plastics brittle or unreadable due to a change in the plastics over a long period of time. Its best if in the long run if he values the disc,to just wait and have it resurfaced. Sometimes the quickest fix isn't always the best,just a temporary one that can cause problems later. If he intends on using any kind of filler cream its best to use car polish creams and others engineered towards plastics. Novus also makes good plastic fillers,polish and cleaners compounds for these purposes. They are popular amongst laserdisc users due to this.

I'm glad Ape Escape 3 is a relatively new and sort of unwanted game though, I can replace it unlike an old rare game if I can't fix it.
