Did you ever get yours figured out Prof?
Ignore manufacturer, you will need water for best and safest results.
Fill a spray bottle with water. Bottle needs to have a semi-mist type spray setting.
First be sure to use 4 "meh" disc as a primer for the pads and practice the first two steps below with them. Make sure both pads are lightly layered all over in the cream by the time the priming on new pads is done. Also, you can use a cd to lightly press the buffing pads down firmly on the wheel. This will make sure it is down firmly.
When you are ready for the serious work:
Step 1: rough buff pad, 2 mins with cream spread lightly on disc, and add little water to pad now and then (every 3-4 buffs one or two sprays worth of light mist), and above the wheel that holds the compact disc also every two mins, as it will run very hot. May need to repeat process a couple of times at 2 min setting.
Step 2: light finish pad/ add cream lightly all over (6 small dots worth is all you need to do so) and spray pad with water 4 times, close lid and do 20 seconds. Disc should still look lightly soaked over most of the disc when finished and you pull the lid up if you are adding enough water to the pad and cream to the disc (adding water, etc, this is key to a better mirror type finish). (ignore any wobbly vibrating sounds on this step. The water in the pad may need to settle in as it goes and that can make it wobble a little as it spins and make more noise.)
Step 3: clean off disc with cleaning spray and soft cloth on both sides. Wipe down buffer wheel and clean out machine, including using a towel to soak up any water at the bottom. Also make sure to not get anything on the buffer pad wheels velcro.
Step 4: Store each pad in a ziplock bag to maintain some moisture, etc.
(if you plan to do more then one disc then I suggest laying your disc out and aside and do all of them first at Step 1, then when Step 1 has been done for every disc, move on to Step 2 and do all of them at step 2. If you try to swap pads back and forth per disc it will just stress the pads out more since you are lifting them off the Velcro attachment constantly.)
(note: the above applies to clear plastic compact disc. The above may need to be altered for PS1 games and other disc (dvd, Gd-rom) using slightly different variants of plastic since some plastic types are softer then others.)
Also, you may want to keep a log of how many disc you do. This will come in handy for when your supplies run low so you can gauge how how much supplies you need to stock up on in the future per how many disc you know you will need to do down the road. The results I get are very nice. I can see some
extremely light marks when holding a disc at an extremely tilted angle in very bright light, but directly looking at them and all, they look perfect, and worlds better obviously then how they looked prior to me doing the work on them.
