I've heard of people filling in the cracks with things, like candle wax, but I've never tried anything like that so it might just be an old geeks' tale.

I use Windex to clean my CD's and it seems to work well.
I bought a used copy of FF7 years back, and when I got to the 3rd disc and it didn't load, I was pissed! Never again will I buy any games used.

Up to now it worked for me on 3 scratched CDs... ok, you won't cure very deep scratches. Be patient , polish with a soft cloth and very light pressure.bitWISE wrote:Don Carlos wrote:so i rub the paste all over the CD??!chopov wrote:Use tooth paste, works also....
wtf...http://www.ehow.com/how_892_repair-scratched-cds.htmlAvoid home remedies that suggest using toothpaste. Toothpaste is a mild abrasive and acts as a light sandpaper. While it may sometimes buff out scratches, more often it will cause additional scratches.

Yea, I won't buy used games anymore unless it's from a local shop where I can take them back if they're scratched.

that only worked because of residue on the CD, not because it "cured" a scratch/scratches.Deathshroud wrote:I use Windex to clean my CD's and it seems to work well.
