Now this may sound crazy but trust me it works!, forget all these fancy CD cleaning devices and drive cleaning CD’s all you need is a good old tube of toothpaste.
Just squeeze a blob about the same amount as you would normally put on your toothbrush. Now run it under the hot tap and start to gently rub the toothpaste all over the CD’s surface and it should do its magic on removing the scratches.
Anyway as the water gets luke-warm it will start to get easier but I guess don’t let the water get too hot as we all know CD’s and DVD’s don’t like high temperatures and you may end up doing more harm than good.
This even worked on a CD i'd had lying around for about 5 years and probably has more scratches than a dog with fleas and it would never load. But would you believe it after trying this toothpaste thing it actually loaded just enough for me to get some files off , woohoo!
And remember don’t forget to brush those sprogs everyday!

Just remember to clean from the center out and not round and round . CD forgive scratches from the center out direction much more that they do in the direction the actual track run.

There are scratches and SCRATCHES. If you got the latter it will not work. Taking care of your disks will make a big difference. Where is the value in things these days?

I've tried it with a number of discs and it definately doesn't do any harm and fixed at least 2 discs that previously wouldn't work

So much hate. It's your fault, and only your fault if you mess up your discs.

I scratched my X Box 360 game of Halo 3 because i tipped the consolea bit. The scratches are not that deep tgough, so will it work on it?
Posted by: Anonymous on 13/02/2008
I tried it and it works, the fluride in the tothpaste gets inbetween the scratches and cleans it up even after running warm water over it it won't come off my cd's play better and my ps2 games now play alll the way thru

Posted by: killer on 15/01/2008
its bull crap ive tried this over and over again and it still doesnt work . ive looked up every toothpaste method and which way to rub and nothing works the onl way to clean scratches is put a little bit of dish washing diturgent and let it sit for 10 mins and then put warm running water onto it and then wash it of with your finure it only woks for light scratches

People who say this doesn't work are idiots and probably used the wrong kind of toothpaste. Toothpaste and 'drive cleaning'-paste has about the same ingredients, thats why both work just fine. You could also try to clean your tooth with drive cleaning pasta, but I don't think you'd like to spend about 5 to 10 euros on something that doesn't taste nicely..
Posted by: Kirth on 19/09/2007
Did you do it exactly how its explained with warm water as it has worked for me many times and I guess if you cd has very deep scratches it wount stand a chance anyway :P
