Ask to inhale the mixture from a jar with a tube inserted in the top, plugged into the domestic gas supply.

I have a little gadget for rescuing scratched discs - not unlike this. It has been known to actually work and uses a slightly abrasive pad and a special liquid. The chemical solution ran out and I've lost the bottle so can check what was in it... isopropyl alcohol? Carbon tetrachloride?

Anyway, these kits can be had from several retailers and if you're lucky, may just save the day.
