I bought a CD/DVD cleaner from Maplins a few years ago and it recovers
damaged discs quite nicely.  It uses an abrasive to clean and polish
the surface, so it can be used only a limited number of times on any
given disc -- it will eventually grind through the plastic to the foil.

The nearest I could find on the Web, also from Maplins, was this:

It's visually different from the one I bought, and appears to be
rather less aggressive.
