That was my guess too, it was at least consistantly "sanded". All
damage going in the same direction, instead of criss-crossing
scratches. FYI, if you keep the disc very wet with the lemonade looking
fluid that comes with these disc doctors then the "scarring" isn't
nearly as bad.

Depends on where the damage is. If the plastic (butter side) is
damaged then you can get one of those CD buffers. They make your
disc look like it was used as a hockey puck, but for some reason it
works. I've use it on CDs, DVDs, GameCube games, etc and it worked
great every time. If the damage is done on the label side then there
really isn't anything you can do.
I wonder if the reason it works, even though the CD buffer doesn't
make it look perfect, is due to some principals of optics. If you
have a scratch in on your CD, then when the laser gets to that area
there is a major change in the refraction suddenly, and it doesn't
like that. But, if the whole area is buffed up and smeared, then the
refraction is smoother for that area and the disc reader can handle it
better.
Just an educated guess, though.
