Is there any safe ways to repair CD scratches without damaging the disk?

Question

Someone told me clear nail polish works, but they lied. The tract won't even play anymore after I did that. At least before i could hear it a little bit. But is there any way I can repair CD scratches?

I never lent it out, it just scratched from my own use.

Answer 1

Toothpaste or 70% alcohol they both work great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you use alcohol make sure you use a Q-tip to put the alcohol on and a paper towel or wash cloth to take the alcohol off.

And you wipe off the toothpaste too.

Answer 2

Toothpaste and CD Scratch Remover both work pretty well. Whatever you use, make sure to clean it with a SOFT cloth, to prevent further scratching of the CD.

Answer 3

Laser eye and cd disc cleaner handle most skips Be sure to rotate the disc playing number as opposed to the same one every time if you have a changer. Most of mine will not ship in another slot. An outright scratch I have not dealt with yet.

Answer 4

I would say that a scratched CD is already damaged, no? try copying it. My PC DVD-writer for example plays scratched audio CDs that my SONY stereo is unable to play or skips.

Answer 5

I'm pretty sure that they have sprays or cloths you can purchase to try and repair cds... They also have something called the CD/DVD Repair Pro that will clean them up.

Answer 6

i hear toothpaste works well, but i've never tried. i don't lend out my cd's.

Answer 7

toothpast, but make sure its gel or you get micro scratches

Answer 8

I have heard turtle wax (the one for cars) works really well..I haven't tried it though....
