How to save a scratched CD or DVD

[Uber l33t]

What You'll Need

-Toothpaste (Non-jel)
-Cotton Swab
-Soft Washrag


First Step

Put the CD/DVD on a flat surface, scratched side up.

Second Step

Apply a small dab of toothpaste (non-gel type) to the CD. Lightly press the swab to the dab of toothpaste.

Third Step
Circle the CD from the center to the outside edge.

Fourth Step
Now, rinse the CD off with cool water.

Last Step

Now, dry it off with the washrag. Make sure that its completely dry before placing it back in its player.
If you're not putting it right back into its player, this time actually take care of it and put it back into its holder.

*Tip*

If you don't have non-jel toothpaste at your house, use car wax and do the same technique. Its like buffing your car, except it doesn't take as long and its easier to do .

Nice guide, I've done this before. VERY short, but there really isn't far you can go with this guide anyways. Maybe a picture or 2 would help. Good guide though.
