This.

I thought this was a fucking joke at first. But smearing toothpaste over the disc definitely works.

Toothpaste.

Otherwise GameStop or whatever disc-selling shop probably have a polishing machine.

Ive actually heard pledge (the spray furniture polish) does an amazing job of covering up scratches.

>covering up scratches

Does this make the game work again or is it just to make it shiny like new?

When you use Pledge or toothpaste is the goal to rub away the scratches or to fill them in?

Doesn't Pledge leave a thin film of scented residue?

I dont know, never tried it myself, I use a bench grinder with a polishing wheel to buff out scratches myself. Just heard a few people mention pledge.

I would assume it would make the game work if it didnt work before.

How does that toothpaste shit work? I destroyed one of my discs that way. It was a cheap practice disc, but still.

Cum on them. I once glued a Chrono Cross disc that looked like a cat played with it and it started working like brand new again!

Cum has healing energy, so I'm not doubting you one bit

I know this sounds insane, but use fine grit sandpaper, and then buff with a wet rag.

It equalizes the finish down to the level of the scratches, if you do it evenly and patiently.

>without using a machine
the best guaranteed method is having someone ELSE use a machine, as in, paying someone that has a machine and therefore then you want to use it themselves, and you will have a working disc without having yourself use a machine

Honestly this is the best answer you could have gotten.
