Not just any hammer and chisel. A high end audio, cryo treated, silver over copper set

I think he must have got mixed up with how to remove scratches from CD's, i've seen people use very fine grit wet and dry, then polish with brasso or other metal polish, but on vinyl with any abrasive paper you're heading for disaster.
I've bought some real crap vinyl off of eBay, unplayable due to dirt, scratches or both and if after a good clean it still hurts your ears to listen to, then i would use a piece of dry magic sponge, tear a piece in half and use the rough torn section on the vinyl, these sponges are incredibly abrasive but as a last ditch fix it or bin it, then it's worth a go, be gentle though don't go scrubbing like you're trying to remove crayon, just put the record on your deck, get it up to speed and gently apply the sponge to the surface simples.
