I was recently at my local video store and mentioned I have 4 little children and our DVD's get scratched all the time. One of the friendly employees suggested I get plain white toothpaste and rub all over the disk then wipe off? Does this work? if so do i let the stuff dry then wipe off? any one ever heard of this?

I've heard of it. The toothpast is supposed to fill in the scratches. I think you're supposed to put it on and then wipe it off with a soft cloth. It won't work on bad scratches, though. I would get a Skip Dr. It fixes scratches in video games, cds, & dvds, and it's only about $30 (or less)

Somehow it doesn't sound like it would work. Toothpaste usually has particles that clean your teeth, but would probably scratch the heck out of your disc.

I read about this in college, it's true. You can't just rub it all over like you're brushing your teeth. You just do nice slow strokes starting at the middle and working your way towards the outside edge.

I've heard that it works but never tried it. I know that brasso which is a brass polish has worked for me many times and it's cheap and easy to find.
Good luck

liquid car wax is better than toothpaste
