i'm sure a ton of you have scratched cds that skip all the time. i fixed one of mine using toothpaste. here's what you do...

put a tiny bit of toothpaste on your finger then dab your finger on the scratch a few times. then rub the toothpaste in a circle on and around the scratch. it takes a long time but it does work. i would try it on an old piece of crap cd first though. so you can get the hang of it. it takes a long time to fix the scratch but it works! just rub until your finger gets warm and when the toothpaste starts flaking off then stop!

anyway...there's a tip for those of you annoyed with scratched cds.

there was recently a news story on doing that to fix scratched glass lenses. i'll try that on some of my stuff.

Good advice. Does the brand of toothpaste make any difference :D? I'm going to use Colgate! :lol:

i&#39;d say anyone over 2,000 posts is either a spammer, bullshiter or they accually help people. judging by most of the posts i&#39;ll let you decide.

yes, thanks.

I have had another problem, when buying a hard to find cd.
I got a damaged Cd - probably during production. And I fixed it with
fire a little bit :) and it worked :)

thanks anyway, david.
