    So, I used this technique on both my KH and KH2 game discs, both of which were pretty badly scratched and unplayable in my PS2. Took some toothpaste and cotton cloth, scrubbed the disc radially(center to outer-edge) for a few minutes, rinsed it thoroughly with water and let it dry for about 10 minutes. Put it in my PS2 and BAM!, it was like new again. Anyone else ever used this technique?

    No, but when the time comes this technique will sure be at hand.

    It should work on any medium, be it BLU-RAY, UMD, DVD, or CD.

    toothpaste is amazing. it also calms burns, fixes scratched glass, shines up metals, and cleans teeth (of course). its a frakin miracle worker!

    thanx for the info, though. i need to go try that on some of my cds...

    Is that all you do? Is there anything you have to be careful of? How much toothpaste?

    That's awsome! XD

    I used to use pencil erasers to fix scratched discs, sometimes it messed it up even more if you used too much. XDDDD

    I'll be sure to use this instead if it ever happends again...

    P.S.... What kinda toothpaste? Does any kind work? O.o
