nothing f'in works for scratched cds ever. i think its dumb to try. i even tried the cleaners and buffers and shit. the only one i have done is the one that shaves off the top layer. but no this toothpaste thing doesnt EVER work for me.
USE PLASTX, It's made bu mguires, you can get it at an auto care store or hardware like ACE. I bought it first for my motorcycle plastic windshield, it worked like crystal clear so i tried it on CDs it did great.
banana is hard to believe. But Toothpaste works, sometimes. IT's the light abrasives in toothpaste (Preferably baking soda tootpaste) that buff out the disk. If your discs are deeply scratched, or have lipped craters like my SIm2 EP discm then it's not going to work
Only works on light scratches, like you said, but the most important part wiping it off with a soft damp cloth going from the center of the disc to the edges, all in straight lines. If you go in a circle at any point, even by accident, you'll end up scratching the disc worse. Alternately, consider using the case; that's what it's there for.
This one is actually true. I used it to get a videogame running that had been pretty horribly scratched. You can actually buy CD repair stuff that is paste-like, but it is probably cheaper to use toothpaste. If you use a very soft toothbrush you can even use that to apply the paste and make sure it gets in there. DO NOT use stiff bristle brushes or it will get worse. Don't rinse the thing with water either, use something non-abrasive to wipe the excess off. Think of it like waxing a car.
Exact Audio Copy or other science-based software would be a good alternative to this folklore approach. Software can actually measure the data errors that people can't hear all that well. And software can be used to correct many of the data errors. It wouldn't be too hard to do comparison tests as far as data errors go. But listening tests are very subjective. Many people just wouldn't hear the difference.
Actually, I've never heard of the toothpaste banana method but car polish really works. Not deep scratches but the minor ones that can keep from being read or skip. Just apply like you would with a car. Let dry to a haze and buff. No kidding!
it works i've done it a ton of times, it makes big scratches small, small scratches gone, and if it skips or doesnt work it usually will work after you use toothpaste
its a lie toothpaste is only for brushing teeth not for fucking cleaning disks, and they leave more scrathes

tooth paste is a very mild abaraive... it should if anything damge the cd more.,..
frankly i think its a myth that a scratched disk can be repaired at all.
a dirty disk can be saves posibly but not a scratched one.
