I think the one about sanding will work but there is a problem even with fine sand paper this is a dvd and the laser is smaller focus so even the thinest scrach distracts the stupid dvd and its a playstation 2 that is 5 years old (got it when it first come out) the thing has enough issues with reading disks that are new you know stick it in 10 mins before you want to play and 10mins later when you want to play it has just loaded.
The only issue I see with this is it makes the cd thinner it happened to my mortal kombat 3 disk. I got it from family video and they have one of those big "pro" cd fixers. I was thinking of asking them how much it would cost to fix my cd if they would. but anyway. i could see that the disk had been though that device with the marks visible on the playstions black disk. the stupid cd was so thin it snaped in half inside my hand. let alone what a high speed cd rom drive could or would have done to that.
the smallest sand paper i have is 100 I will try to get rid of some of the sand and try it on a test cd then i don't have care polish that doesn't have wax in it so I will use rust remover that has acid in it that got rid of some of the marks made on the disk in one of my test.

--- Quote from: Xeniczone ---Ok, Here is my story.
I was on my gameing computer I was playing battlefeild 2 I was already mad because my team was losing. When my bro. came up and said the game wouldn't work I went into the other room, looked at the screen it said "Please put in a Playstation or Playstation 2 format disk." I thought he put the disk in backwards again so I ejected the disk and it was in right. I looked at the bottom at the disk and the thing was scratched like crazy!!! there was so many scratches on the bottom you couldn't measure a 1cm difference between them. Pissed off I asked what had happened and who is going to give me the 50 bucks for the disk.
Anyway I started learning that I started looking up on the internet how to fix them I have seen the Disk Doctor and it was 40 bucks i would perfer a new disk. But is there a cheaper way that works !!!NOT TOOTHPASTE IT JUST MAKES IT WORST!!! I start pulling out cleaning solution and consintrated asid on cd-r i scratched on purpose to see what would work.
Bottom line:
How to fix a scratch cd CHEAP?

You will destroy the disc with 100grit sand paper and rust remover.

You rule. :thumbup:
A question, though...will this method fix more than scratches? (ie, smearing, etc.)
