Noob Question - cleaning/fixing CD games

in Help Wanted!
I bought a lot of Wii games and a few of them are scratched and won't play.  There's a lot of different methods I found when Googling how to fix them, but I thought the members here would have the best advice.  Can you please let me know how you fix scratched games without risking damaging them further.



Also, I see a lot of ebay auctions that have "buffered disk" in the title.  Is this seen as a good thing because the game has been cleaned, or is it bad because it needed to be buffered in the first place?



Thanks!

    If they are expensive titles, then it's worth getting them resurfaced (buffed). It's a negative thing in comparison to a game that is in nice condition that has not been resurfaced, but it's better than having a game that is all scratched up and won't play.

    How do I go about doing that?

    if you have any local video rental stores or used game stores check with them to see if it's a service they offer.

    Our family videos do it for like $1 here.

    or you can resurface yourself. plenty of youtube videos on that subject.

    Bump. Youtube videos all recommend different things. I'd like to get some advice from someone that knows what they are talking about (even if it's just recommending which youtube video is a good one).

    cheap titles just get them buffed or buy a new one. expensive title get them resurfaced.
