Brasso is considered to be one of the best methods for CD scratch removal. Toothpaste is considered to be mostly ineffective.

Avoid home remedies that suggest using toothpaste. Toothpaste is a mild abrasive and acts as a light sandpaper. While it may sometimes buff out scratches, more often it will cause additional scratches.
You really need to buy a fluid-based CD scratch-repair kit.
Get a soft, lint-free cloth, such as one made for cleaning eyeglasses, if your scratch-repair kit doesn't come with cloths or swabs.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Wipe across the CD, working from the inside out in straight lines. Never wipe in a circular pattern.

The only thing that would even come close is a microfiber cleaning cloth with some sort of cleaning solution. However most people don't have both of these laying around the house. I don't know much about the machines that fix them, but if you have enough CD's I think it would be worth it.

take a little bit of toothpaste, put it on your finger and rub it on the cd. then dampen your ringer with a *little* bit of water and rub the toothpaste off. then dry it with a towl.
