GameCube Disc Cleaning Series: Part 3- It still won't play!

PART 3 of a multi-part series! We show you how to clean those pesky GameCube discs!

Here's the scoop. I got a stack of 8 GameCube games that were all deemed "damaged beyond repair". I've tested each one, and they do not play. At least for now...

In this series we will clean one GameCube disc per video, in increasing difficulty (based on visual inspections). I'll walk you through the steps and procedures of how I clean GameCube discs of all sorts of damage. (My assumption/hope is that I manage to revive all 8 discs).

And now we get to Part 3! You say you've tried to clean your disc using the steps show in Part 1? And you say it still doesn't work? Well friends, you have options. A single polish with Novus 2 might not be enough! You may need to do a number of rounds of polish with Novus Step 2, you might need to jump up to Step 3, lots of options here!

Just keep in mind that you can use Novus 2 a few times over and over until those scratches are removed and the game comes back to life. Sometimes a single polish works, and sometimes it takes 20. Heck in this video I polished a disc a few times, figured it was good, and it still didn't play!

Let's get into it!
