You can pick up a repair tool from most electronics/game stores.

Avoid 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.

You should look into some sort of hard-disc system like the Kenwood Keg or that Fosgate system. Greatest purchase I've made in a while.

" Tips from eHow Users:
Freeze it
I put my GTA:San Andreas in the freezer for 8-10 hours and wiped it off with a wet cloth. Now it works."
LOL!!

Try using furniture polish (glossy kind) and an old soft T-shirt
spray the shirt with something like pledge, then wipe in straight lines from the center to the edge, get a nice glaze on the CD and it should work and smell lemony fresh too!!!
