    Hey all, I've had my Swap Magic 3.3 Disc for 2 and a half years or so and it's been great. But after much wear and tear my PS2 will no longer read it.

    Does anyone know any good tricks to cleaning this disc? Thanks...

    I actually ust use some spray wax for my car ( Meguiars Tech wax of course ). Sounds odd but it works and I swear it makes DVDs look so much better when watching them. I have noticed this as well as my friends especialy while watching older movies on DVD.

    Use a nice clean or even better fresh out the box micro fiber towel.

    Let me know how it works and tell me if you see any difference. I swear i have noticed a significant one with every DVD I used it on and I am thinking it may make audio Cd's sound eve better.

    Works perfect! Before it would take several times for the disc to even pick up, now it works on the first try every time! Thanks for the advice!

    Which method did you use? It sounds like the wax would work well.

    Anyone else still having problems even after you clean the disc and the lens? Mine worked for just a while after cleaning, but now it won't hardly read at all. It takes a very long time to load if at all. I bought a new swap magic disc, and it treats the brand new one the same as the old one.

    It plays original games just fine though.

    Do you think it could be the laser?

    Mine still works like a charm. At times I still have to stick o book or something underneath my PS2 to get the disc to pick up though...
