I remember hearing about that for car scratches or something of the like.

edit: That's a scratch that only covers the clearcoat, not a full scratch which reveals the metal.

There's some kind of sealent out there that works, but I don't know what the composition is. All I know is that toothpaste works like a charm for CDs and DVDs.

Crest might cause nuclear accidents.

You know that new Colgate? The pro health one with like silica in it? Wouldn't that scratch the CD?

I was gonna say I have that Mentadent stuff that has the blue and white paste stored separately, I wonder if that will work?  I may try it later on a worthless scratched cd.

This worked on my Diablo II cd. Did it twice at night, gave up and in the morning one more time and it made it through installation.

Bah! I got told about this years ago by some kid. I tried it, knowing now I did it wrong, and ruined the CD.

I always told people that the "toothpaste method" never worked and it's a lie, but now I see I was wrong...

Is there a way to get subtitles on that video? Kid sounds like a dentist numbed up his jaw.

I actually learn about this in Biology in high school, one of those random minute lessons my teacher would tell us randomly. Toothpaste has something called Diatomatious earth (sp?) which is kind of a sealent in it. The reason it's in toothpaste is because your teeth take a lot of abuse and the diatomatious earth fills in the tiny scratches that come from simply chewing on your teeth. It acts the same way for CDs, it just fills the scratches so it's completely smooth and the disc won't skip. There's my lesson for the month.
