How to Fix a Scratched Xbox 360 game Disk with Car Wax

[rubberdoctor21]

i tried to do this on my halo reach. but it isn't a scratch, it's kind of more like a cut instead of a scratch. don't ask me how it happened, it just did. any way it didn't work at all so if u have a cut instead of a scratch, don't waste your time. kinda like this comment. pure stupidity and a waste of time. why the fuck am i still typing?

[ThePie777]

i hope this works for me, i was playing new vegas and all the sudden the screen went black and i heard grinding, next thing i know theres a really big circular scratch in my disc

[ProDribbler]

The thing is it might only be that car wash product :/

[herecomeszain]

Guys just go to your local game shop and ask them to clean the scratches of your disc

[SickCrazyEsse]

lol nintendo 64

[THEARBITER641]

@SickCrazyEsse ..And?

[sevkraut81]

LAY YOUR XBOX DOWN FLAT!!!! I went into Gamestop and they said the reason you get a circle scratch along your cd is because you have it standing up like a tower. The Xbox has nothing holding in the cd which means the cd comes loose and the laser in your Xbox scratches it. Now if you slap your Xbox in a fit of nerd rage like me.. then you'll get a scratch on it.. hence why I'm looking at these videos... but seems I fixed mine with toothpaste. Good luck.

[THEARBITER641]

@sevkraut81 Same thing happened to me bro! lol Toothpaste fixed it? Im going to try that later,is there anything I should know before I do it?(I dont want to completely ruin it)

[sevkraut81]

@THEARBITER641 Yea, after putting the toothpaste on it rub it in one direction of the cd and not small circles... then just wash it off, dry it and it should work. I had to use the toothpaste a couple times.

[THEARBITER641]

@sevkraut81 Alright,yeah just read a couple minutes ago on eHow about doing that,and not circular motions,gel toothpaste doesn't work right?

[sevkraut81]

@THEARBITER641 I think I used gel toothpaste.

[THEARBITER641]

@sevkraut81 Oh,well it didnt work anyway with regular toothpaste :/. Well barely,it allowed me to actually play the game...for like 3 minutes. Then itll give me the message and take me back to xbox home,whats stupid is that the game is working completely fine,its the freakin message that messes me up. Idk if its because I only smoothed the paste on for 5 minutes twice or that it doesn't work period.

Looks like I gotta get it buffed at play n trade,any clue on how much it is?

[sevkraut81]

@THEARBITER641 dang! I would try the toothpaste again, then while it's working download the game to your xbox harddrive if you have the space. Then the scratches wont matter.

[sevkraut81]

@sevkraut81 P.S. not sure how much to get it buffed out would cost you.

[THEARBITER641]

@sevkraut81 Oh yeah! Didnt think of doing that,well I tried installing BEFORE I rubbed the toothpaste on last night. Same thing,didnt work,but ill try that in a minute. Im sure this will work

[sevkraut81]

@THEARBITER641 I hope it works man. It truly sux when you can't get your game to work.

[THEARBITER641]

@sevkraut81 Nope doesn't work :/ It really does suck -.- (I had that experience with all my old dreamcast games,feels like trying to blow in a N64 so hard but it still wont come up right.) But it did stop later in the installing then before,so I may be making some progress,im going to try and put more toothpaste and rubbing on it for now longer. How long did you rub yours on?

[sevkraut81]

@THEARBITER641 I put my toothpaste on and rubbed it in for a good couple minutes. The longer the better, then wash it off and dry it off with a soft cloth. Should work after a couple tries.

[kieranhowarth]

@sevkraut81 i liked these comment because it true about me aswell i do it all the time :)

[kieranhowarth]

@sevkraut81 and anothing thing down load the disc to ur hard drive so if it does get a scratch or A CRACK it will still work as long as the disc is in the tray

[shadow5213]

[NikeBaller670]

[simranjeetrocks]

[mattboy9111]

Hey sync flame. I am trying to fix the circle of death on my MW3 and I am using car wax. My game works for a little and then stops. Should I let the wax dry in the scratches before I wipe?

[matuckre]

[bjn9]

How to play a game with perfect circle scratch

Step 1: find someone with the same game

Step 2: ask to barrow it for a day

Step 3: download it to your xbox

Step 4: give their game back

Step 5: put in your game and it will work like new

[XxHALOxX425]

Doesn't even work. -.-

[hectorv1104]

@XxHALOxX425 yet you have it on your fav -_- lol



[XxHALOxX425]

@hectorv1104 Yeah, I had remember it somehow.

[grande1k]

nice im gonna have to try this

[NDND92]

does your modern warfare game still work to this day?

[CrazedChinaman]

You should always buy Pre-owned games considering there is a 7 day return policy at Gamestop..

[iNitroBeasti]

Damn it worked

[cota2350]

Yeah ill do that. Maybe ill have to exchange it for a blockbuster game ;)

[cota2350]

Ahh didnt work :(

[syncflame]

@cota2350 that sucks try it again or maybe take it to a video store so they can buff it out for cheap : /

[NDND92]

@syncflame Does your Modern Warfare game still work to this day?

[syncflame]

@NDND92 yes

[SpectacleTWET]

@syncflame, Sync, is this at 1:33 (the one closest to the edge) the scratch that wouldn't let you play your MW2? I didn't try it yet for mine (can't till tomorrow) but I wanted to know if those outer ones are the scratch, or is that on every game.

[syncflame]

@SpectacleTWET no i think thats on all games

[SpectacleTWET]

@syncflame, Yeah thanks I just got off playing. You still play MW2?

[syncflame]

@SpectacleTWET no i have MW3 

[SpectacleTWET]

@syncflame, Ah.. can I add you?

[cota2350]

Alright. I hope it works. I dont wanna have to go pay another $60 for a new game!

[syncflame]

@cota2350 yeah let it sit for a bit then make sure wipe it clean before putting it in look it carefully maybe let it dry for a bit too

[syncflame]

@cota2350 also let me know your results!

[cota2350]

Hmm damn. I just bought Madden 12 like a week ago, and i moved my xbox. Soo i tried the toothpaste thing, and it took a little of the circle out. But should it still be okay to try wax?

[syncflame]

@cota2350 yeah go for it make sure you clean it really good before you apply the wax i recommend a spray on wax

[johnhaig04]

Thnks fr postn that

[syncflame]

@johnhaig04 thnk fr th mmrs

[CrazedChinaman]

This worked great, to clear up the confusion about weather or not Car Wax works or not I can safely say it worked great for my GTA IV disc. Just use a rubber glove and rub the wax into the disc with your finger till it is completely covered. Let sit for 3-5 minutes then wipe vertically with a facecloth till all visible wax is gone. Add a second thinner coat of wax in the same manor, this time wipe with a microfiber cloth. I used Turtle Wax Ice Synthetic Paste Polish. Google image it, it's a kit.

[syncflame]

@CrazedChinaman great info thanks for posting it

[ILoveDubstep247]

FUCK MY LIFE!

[syncflame]

@killmaster3415 then leave it to dry off for maybe 10-20 minutes.

I took mine to family video to see if they could take off a layer cuz I had a circle scratch on my naruto: UNS2 game that I only had for 1 week. It was able to read that it was a game so it played automatically but instead of going to the games menu xbox sent me a message saying that the disk isn't readable. So now I'm really pissed $40 down the drane. I wish I came across this earlier -_-
