does peanut butter really work to remove scratches from a cd?

Question

to remove most scratches atleast? or is there something else that would work better?

how do you use toothpaste? put it on and then use water to get excess off?

Answer 1

i use colgate toothpaste

Answer 2

I watched something on a craft show they used regular toothpaste to remove scratches on cds. They said not to use the gel kind only the regular old school toothpaste. They put a tiny bit on the scratch and rubbed it with a very soft cloth.

Answer 3

I know of nothing that removes scratches form CD's. The peanut butter oil would not be good for a CD for sure. I believe that once a scratch is there, that's it, but I could be wrong.

Answer 4

nothing can really remove scratches, all you can do is fill them in. Regardless, dont use pb, windex, toothpaste, hi-liter, or any of these things. Your best bet is to go to a store that can fix the cds for you (such as a video game store) or you can get a thing called a CD Doctor that is the most effective product i have used.

Answer 5

no peanut butter doesnt work for removing scratches from cds.

What i recommend is, if you are like me and have tons of cds, to buy a disc repair machine. They have the hand ones and also motorized ones depending on how many cds with scratchs you have.

skipdoctor is a good one that i have used in the past.

Answer 6

If you've got more than one scratch on a cd it must be in bad shape. I've heard they don't work very well with very many scratches on them. You might be adding more scratches just trying to remove some. I'd leave it alone.

Answer 7

i invented salad.

please don't be foolish and believe anything you read. thanks.

alcohol works best for cds. and i have tested it.

peanut butter is food. it is THICK. let a lone, it has peanut bits. that can scratch the cd.

alcohol works best.

but nothing can get rid of scratches.

its impossible because scratches took out matter from the cd. nothing can rebuild that cd

Answer 8

TOTAL MYTH... Take them to a used cd store and they can buff those scratches out but if they are deep scratches kiss the CD goodbye. I usually make a copy of my CD keep the original at home....Its the best way to deal with this.

Answer 9

I don't think there is anything that can really remove the scratches on a CD.

Answer 10

Actually there's a liquid that you brush onto them. That fills in the scratches. I've seen one of my buddies use it that is a karaoke dj. Try checking out a music or electronics store. Some place like Radio Shack might have it.

Answer 11

I don't see how peanut butter would be abrasive enough to do this. I can see toothpaste working, even wet cigarette ashes, but I have a lot of doubt about peanut butter.
