try toothpaste. it's cheap, it's available and it works. oh, not the gell type tho, the gritty type.

Polish them out with Brasso.

That didnt work for me. I guess the scratch was too deep (only 1 long ass scratch.)

toothpaste + dihydrogen monoxide = best stuff ever!

or a whitening toothpaste.

warning tho, you have to rub for a long time with toothpaste.

there may be better stuff, but if your just gonna buff out one cd and the toothpaste is handy anyway, why go out and buy more stuff??

Surprisingly toothpaste works for many of those same things, including brass. my mom used toothpaste to clean anything she didn't want to take a stronger cleaner too. it worked wonders on brass, pots and pans etc.

one thing about the toothpaste, DONT USE A TOOTH BRUSH!
bad idea....

Brasso is much better than toothpaste, which is too abrasive. Brasso all the way!

I have a couple of those Skip Doctor things you can buy at Best Buy. They work OK. Most of my CD's that are approaching 15 years old were in desperate need of fixing a while back so I gave one of those things a try. They do a pretty good job buffing out the minor scratches and help a lot with the major scratches. It isn't going to fix the scratches to the top (reflective) layer where the music is, in fact there isn't anything that fixes area. 95% of the CD's I've "fixed" play almost perfectly now.

The only downside to the Skip Doctor is the manual labor involved in doing a lot of CD's at once. I did my collection in lots of +/- 50 at a time.

I signed a petition to get that awful stuff banned. I guess it didn't work.
