How do I clean scratches off of my video game CD's?

Answer by  Anonymous

Use furniture polish: Pledge has always worked at filling in scratches on discs for me and they use it at my girlfriend's video store for games/dvds/blu-ray

Is the scratch or multiple scratches just surface or to the golden data layer? If it's scratched to the data layer it can't be repaired. First method is fill the scratches with a special solution that fills the scratch. Second type is resurfacing with a disk doctor device.

Get a bowl and put in shampoo and glass cleaner. Rub the mixture onto the CD in a circular motion, then rinse off and dry with a soft towel.

I'd suggest using toothpaste. Here's what you do: take some white, plain toothpaste and rub it all over the disc, going from the inside (where the hole is) outward. After about 15-30 seconds, wash the disc with warm water and allow to dry completely.

Try rubbing alcohol, but 9 times out of 10 the disks need to be taken to a store to be re-surfaced. Look for a video game store who can.

You can't clean scratches, a scratch is actual damage that can not be simply wiped off. But your local video game store may be able to repair it.
