Is there a method i could use to buff the scratches from a CD without going to a Professional?

Your local DvD rental, game or related store (I'm going to sound all American and say check out Wal-Mart, or similar) they normally some cheap things to do it with. (At least they do where I live )

This or something similar might work, but if there's a Gamestation near you then you might want to have them check it out, they should do it for free and it's a lot less hassle.

Here's a lot of homemade ways to remove scratches.

Tooth Paste didn't work.

Lysol works and isn't mentioned there, so give it a try too.

If the scratches aren't too bad, but cause it to freeze up sometimes (I guess depending on what kind of disk), you can (on a Mac) insert the disk and make a .iso with the disk utility and then burn the .iso to a new disk.

If you're using Windows, I recommend downloading imgburn (free software sticky) and make an image and then burn.

how do i apply the lysol?

You spray the cd... And wipe from the inside edge to the outside (Not in a circle).

it kinda worked but it didn't fix it.

How is the scratch now then?
Is it still as bad?
Or is it better but still bad?

try banana in the toothpaste method

Toothpaste is abrasive.

I've heard car wax works. Use it the same way as the Lysol method.

Creamy peanut butter? I've also heard that works.

Wouldnt that.. make alot of smell?
Not good if the CD is stoved away..

well lysol didn't work. so i broke down and took it to the professionals (dun dun dun!) it's good as new now. this topic can be closed
