TAG | scratches
Not for pansy little scratches. For big, hearty, lumberjack scratches. Need: · A dremel tool with a buffing attachment. · Heavy duty rubbing compound. It should be a thick liquid or liquidy solid with a very fine grit. · Plenty of napkins or paper towels. · Dish detergent. · A light oil. · A trashed practice disc. 1. Do this in your garage or outside in an area that can be cleaned, as specks of the compound may spray from the business end of the Dremel tool. 2. Practice on the trashed disc first. Apply the compound to the disc and spread with napkins or paper towels. 3. Turn the Dremel tool onto its lowest setting and apply moderate pressure to the disc as you parallel the circular scratch. Do not stay in one place for too long or press too hard, as the friction will irreparably damage the disc’s finish. Hence the practice. 4. After having gone all the way around, reapply compound and repeat process. Disc will need to be cleaned of excess compound every two or three applications. 5. A very scratched disc may require this to be repeated 15 times or so. A lightly scratched disk, 8 to 10 times. 6. Once the deep circular scratch has been buffed away, wash the disc with detergent. You’ll notice dull marks where you’ve been buffing the hell out of the disc. These are unavoidable tiny scratches. Apply a few drops of oil and spread with your finger, then very lightly wipe away with a soft tissue. Don’t wipe it all away. The oil is filling the tiny scratches, but if excess is gone …

Hate to break it to you, but there is really only one sure way to get a disk that suffered from perfect ring scratches to work again. All that other crap is bogus. Thank you for 220000+ views.

Fixing XBox 360 game disc scratches with toothpaste
25 Comments · Posted by admin in Xbox 360 Games
This is how I was able to remove the scratches from my NHL08 game disc with toothpaste. More details at: jdrgaming.com Procedure: I use regular Crest. Put a small amount on your fingertip and rub from the center of the disc outward over the scratch. Repeat many times. Eventually you will see the scratch fade. Where it was you will see lots of light scratches where your finger was. Rinsing the toothpaste off between each rubbing helps. If you have lots of scratches or they extend all the way around this can take a while; work on the ones that show up from several different angles as they are typically the deepest. I’ve heard elsewhere that Brasso works. I may try it if the need ever again arises. I should caution you, however, against polishing the disc in circles. Any axial scratches have the potential to cause read errors, and polishing in a circular motion will cause some fine axial scratches to be created. Everything I’ve read on the subject says to use radial polishing motions only (from the center outward). I work on fingertip-width sections (about a centimetre long arc), rubbing fairly vigourously from the inside to the outside only. Each application and subsequent rubbing takes about 30 seconds, then I rinse and repeat. I usually have to do that 5 to 10 times for each section. If you only have one small scratch, you’re done after one section, but if a scratch goes all the way around it takes a lot longer. You get better at judging how hard to press with your finger …
