Remove scratches from CDs - The best way to repair a scratched CD

Thanks for the advice tysm!

I did this with a papertowel and it worked perfect on my DVD. I'm super glad, cause it's "No Country For Old Men" and the "tracker scene" was damaged.
Thanks a lot. Worked within seconds.

You sir just saved my 1999 Fu Manchu - King of the road CD, from the deepest of my CD collection THANKS

in the philippines i have a karaoke cd when i seached the 2015 just dance and i found the H-22 on my disc so i tried to test it out with paper tape to not make it inside

I decided to go with this video because the instructor was well prepared, concise in his words, careful with his disc and to the point with no unnecessary muzak drowning out his instructions. Disc show should be flipped to show that it is indeed a DVD or CD and not a BluRay.

My Legend of Kay disc works but not without causing more scratches likely due to using the toothpaste on a dry surface. It was badly resurfaced and then sold to me.

The problem: Disc would lag and then stall after start menu.

Process: Disc was rinsed with warm water and then cleaned in outward stroke using an eyeglass wipe from my optometrists business.

After this the toothpaste I used (Crest Complete) was tested for abrasive granules and then used as instructed in this video.

Disc was set to dry for 20 minutes and then rinsed (not wiped of with micro fibre cloth as per video) in warm water in a circular manner within a very smooth takeout food bowl (inspected for sharp stud at bottom that could scratch the game's decal). Used water left to run off and out occasionally by tipping.

Disc surface was dabbed try with glasses cleaning wipe and decal side wiped was dried with a soft microfibre towel carefully. Disc left to dry for 10 minutes under kitchen stove fan to expedite drying.

Finally, disc was again sprayed with glasses cleaning solution that was wiped away from center hole outward to disc edge all the way around being careful to never apply the dry fabric to the dry disc anywhere.

Despite this I got 12-16 0.5-2.0 cm cosmetic scratches throughout the disc sheen atop the previously resurfaced surface of the disc.

Does the disc work? Yes. Tested on two separate PS2 consoles (old slim and newest slim type).

Does the process create more scratches? Yes, it does. Check your toothpaste on a shallow scratch up disc first to see the effects. Use your cell phone or other camera to snap a pick of before and after so you can see the difference to better decide if this DIY process is for you.

My next attempt will be to use Axe Shield Shading Gel - Sensitive Ultra Smooth to see if I can get a better result than with the above mentioned toothpaste.  

After this, I believe all toothpaste is likely abrasive no matter how it feels in your fingers.

The best thing that worked for me was SCRATCH OUT! I bought it at Walmart and was only $5 dollars. My Xbox had moved and my COD Advanced Warfare got the circle scratch really bad. So I went to Walmart to buy a disc cleaner machine but they didn't have any. So i seen this SCRATCH OUT and it said it gets out all bad scratches for Xbox, PlayStation and the Wii. Anyone that has the same problem and if you only have a little money i totally recommend this to them. Now I'm so happy I didn't have to waste money to buy another Cod AW.

How to fix!

i wanna try this but i just got this game for 75 dollars and some people are saying it didnt work what to do??

It clearly says CD, Xbox discs are DVD. :|

Mine is worse now :( thanks a lot for ruining my disc more

What if you got it on eBay

That happened to me. There isn't a way (as far as I know) to fix that on your own. If you go to the store where you got it you can get a new one and they can give you a discount. You can also get something like scratch insurance (something like that) and If it happens again you get a free version (I think). Sorry I'm not very sure but I do know this you burned the disc. It happen to me and my little bro 3 time on 1 game!

That a lie you fucker

-_- This video was not helpful, in fact it made me depressed.
