It doesn't have to be music CD's but DVD's and computer CD's that may need to be fixed.
I would not use stuff like car wax or toothpaste as they could end up scratching the disc worse or even leave a film on the disc that would keep it from working or mess up your player/drive. I agree for the best job having a "professional" do it would be the best way to go but they do market CD repair kits with special fluids, cloths, etc to help clean and fix very minor scratches.

That's pretty cheap! :thumbsup: I didn't know that there is a service like that - I have also got a bunch of CDs with scratches at home - guess I'll look for a shop that can repair them.

Big 10-4 on that suggestion :clap::clap: It's the best fixer I've found.. aside from just transfering your music to .mp3 IPOD or mini-disc ( no skips, no scratching!)

YouTube - How to Remove Scratches From Any DVD There are plenty other suggestions on there also. Just don't be like my buddy. Someone told him that if you set the cd on fire for a second, and then put the fire out, it would like melt the scratches out or something. He burnt up a couple cds finding out it doesn't work.

I've heard of peanut butter, tooth paste, windex, and other things for cleaning CDs. Me personally, I would have to pass on that. I couldn't see myself spreading out peanut butter on a CD. :lol: I think I would have to either replace the CD, or get it cleaned professionally.

Yeah, I tried peanut butter once and it took a long, long time to wipe it all off the cd.
