A particular cd of mine has been bad. There was nothing I did not do for six years to fix it to no avail. After watching this video, I tried crest toothpaste, applying it lavishly and leaving it for ten minutes before wiping it off with cotton wool (thrice). It worked like a charm to my disbelief.

Thank you for this video. I just fixed one of my favorite music CDs with soap and water then I applied the vaseline, now the tracks that were skipping are playing great. I am happy thank you x

Enjoyed the video! I really like your format, looking forward to seeing what else you come up with as I've been intro retro collecting a lot this year.

I tried the toothpaste to buff followed by the vaseline to polish on my scratched audio CDs and it worked a treat! Managed to recover some good old stuff I thought was well past it.

Well presented with patience and clarity. Thank you. I'm tyring them all! ~R

Hello, wow, thank you. Will try the petroleum jelly one out. The way you present this video is great. Just read your "about" section and am sorry to see you have stopped making more videos. Will be praying for you for a break through so you can continue doing what you enjoy. Thank you for leaving the KZfaq channel up for us. Take care and God bless you and yours.

I have recently bought a PS2 game with the same Tomb Raider issue. I tried toothpaste and polishing material with no sucess, After I watched the vaseline method (I had alred watched this video some months ago, but now this tip really shoned), I gave it a try and it works! I think this is the best method for those that are having the same problem to repair their PS2 Discs ( I'm not quite sure if it will work with another disc issues on other consoles) . Nice tip, man. God bless!

I tried the bannanna, no joy, then I tried strawberries, no joy, I think I'm starting to get somewhere with coconuts and pineapple.

Thanks for this. Glad to see that petroleum jelly actually works but wish you would have confirmed it by trying it on a different disc.

I like the OJ gloves and using a towel on the surface. I think car wax would be the answer. I usually clean my used discs with warm water and 2 paper towels sections. 1st one for cleaning, 2nd one for polish and dry. It usually works on 95% but there are some that are digitally locked up and you need to 'short out' the block. Sometimes libraries put on anti-theft devices that can become 'charged' so you will need to clean thoroughly. When the static charge pops you can hear it in the speakers.

Awhile ago I read on a forum someone used a windshield chip repair kit on discs with great success. I've thought about giving it a shot, but it never crosses my mind when I'm actually at a store.

I'd love to see a similar test for audio CDs, since being able to hear how much more or less it skips would be a great indication of precisely how much these methods fix the scratches. ofc, depends if you have any lying around ;)

Would have been nice to see if the petroleum jelly worked on the banana disc or any of the others.

I used Aquaphor last night on an Another dvd. Had to use four coats to finally fully play one of the episodes. The problematic scratch was still visible and still pronounced but it played through. So I ripped that last episode and return the dvd to the library.

I didn't have anything else but beeswax, so I tried it. Seems to work. It was 100% pure, got it on Amazon for ten dollars for a small container of it. I use it for lots of stuff around the house, so I decided to give it a whirl. Will invest in a cd repair kit like you showed as well.

got to check the top too, making sure no scratches in the data portion. hold up to a light to see if you can see through the disc

VASELINE METHOD WORKS WELL! even either the coco butter version. My DVD player went from saying it has a problem reading the disk. To reading it in less than 30 seconds. I previously tried soap and water with toothpaste. Did not work. I used the Vaseline was unsure because it was the coco butter version, but it worked like a charm. Wiped it off with a towel. Put it in the player and within less than 30 seconds it was already reading it and has worked like a charm since. High recommend the Vaseline method for scratched music cds, DVDs, blu rays, and more. Loved this method. I was so excited and happy something finally worked.

TY. Body lotion worked on DVD scratch - "freeze" movie scene issue. DVD now plays on all my devices, no problem.

I buffed a dvd with a peice of poop when I ran out of toothpaste and it worked. It was only thing handy since my pup just squeezed off again on the bathroom floor.

I tried the tooth paste method on 2 discs. One with only light scuffs worked. The other had some more pronounced linear scratches didn't work. So mileage on that one may vary.

Thanks for this video. I wish you had tried the petroleum jelly on the other discs that didn't work with other methods, I'm dying to know if the results would have been different.

Toothpaste often works, I tried it many times. Next time I'll try Petroleum Jelly if toothpaste doesn't help. Thanks!

Methodology leaves a lot to be desired but given the limited "everything" you did alright Tip: Typical buffing/sanding is done orbitally because it travels repeatedly over adjacent areas in forward motion multiplying actual surface coverage and minimalising potential over pressuring Mind you, 2k grade wetNdry sandpaper followed by 2.5k will fix all scratches and then light buff with no pastes, 3 minutes max 😎

Did u put in on the middle part of the disk

Even verified cleaners like Novus can take 2-10 cleanings to work. Some of these will likely work if you do multiple applications. It’s also a disc by disc process. Meaning some of these may work on another. No fix corrects everything

Supposedly car scratch remover is best because it erodes the scratched plastic away. Of course you can’t let it erode too far. Might try the vaseline method on a dvd I have with one deep scratch.

It would have been nice, at the end of all of the attempted repairs, if you had tried the petroleum jelly on the ones that did not repair with the other methods to see if the petroleum would be successful in ultimately repairing all of the discs. If there were still discs that the petroleum jelly could not repair, then the success or failure of each method was more dependent on the individual condition of the disc, rather than the method being used to repair it. It could be that the toothpaste and the magic eraser method might work on some discs, whereas another method might work better on other discs. Just a thought.

Nice work

toothpaste method saved a couple of my ps4 discs. just clean your disc with running water , let it dry for a minute or 2 , now fill the disc with toothpaste and put it in the freezer for 1 or 2 hours(not a joke , this is in fact the most important step). then take it out the freezer and rinse again with running water.

My midnight club 3 works to start game but stops at loading screen before racing So I’ll try the methods to clean it because that game is known to freeze a lot

The one with toothpaste method really worked for me.

I have a JFJ Easy Pro, and while the branding and name may make it seem like some crappy chinese product, its actually a very useful disc resurfacer that makes your discs look like new.

Tooth paste worked for me and it was a pretty deep scratch.

toothpaste works thats a fact!! i cant remember if it was clear toothpaste or the white one though tried this years ago lmao

Never heard of the 🍌 method lol, but I've had great success with the toothpaste method. I've thought about getting a skip dr. Love the channel!

I have one of the first Disk Doctor and i still use it today as my wife loves to leave dvd`s lying around and they get scratched.

My discs don't have scratches. Movies I bought, watched twice, and now one is stuck on a Bee movie preview and the other won't load at all.

I would think the petroleum jelly would end up getting warmed up in the player, possibly making the CD hard to read eventually. Make it collect alot of dust.

I rent a lot of items from the library. Constantly scratched because people don't know how to NOT touch the disc. Anyway, how can I fix them?

Friend of mine says if you put a little dab of lotion and rub it in a circular motion and then buff it out and it will play

I got a PS2 game that wouldn't play because it's all scratch up i tried the petroleum jelly and I'm shocked the game is actually playing now amazing

The toothpaste method can work, just you may need to wipe it a few times and reapply. Depends how much time you are willing to spend. And even if you think you've wiped the excess off. You probably haven't. Still not working try reapplying and wiping again.

get a wood drill, jam it into the end of a wine bottle cork, put toothpaste on the disc and buff out the scratches using a drill with the woid drill bit in the drill, use a medium speed , it will work even on bad scratches but note some discs wont work if the lable side info is damagec or the center info is damaged ,

This is great! I have a scratched Mario and Sonic at the 2008 olympics and i have vaseline! Lucky me!

I bought Watchdogs for my Xbox 360. The game disc works but the install disc doesnt and I am very dissapointed. Im thinking of buying a disc doctor because I dont wanna fuck it up more than it is. Its mainly light stratches but theyre all over the disc. Watchdogs is one of my favorite games because its one of the first games I had for PS3. Hopefully it works soon enough

I've heard that car wax will work, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet.

Does this work for the rings?

Thank you

I'm curious how this would work on black silver and blue disks?

thanks man

where were these discs stored ? - on the garage floor - you didnt even come close to buffing out the scratches with the toothpaste

Have you heard of the motorized scratch fixer sold by JFJ?

A disc doctor or something similar is the best method. I buy and borrow lots of audio cds and my library has a disc cleaning device you can use, I’ve found it works better than toothpaste, and vasoline harms the disc more in my experience

God loves you guys!

I can confirm that the Vaseline method works

I tried the tooth paste method years ago on a mariokart doubledash disc with no luck so i just bought another copy for 5 dollars

Does the toothpaste method works with ps4 disk?

Do we leave the vaseline on or wash it off

a drill and a buffing pad with car repair stuff can fix disc's

But with hair gel works too because my super monkey ball adventure is not workimg

Does some of these work for DVD disc?

The banna one made my disc worse

Maybe your laser in the playstation needs cleaning ..sometimes its not the disk .

Toothpaste method worked great.

I tried with vaseline cuz the toothpaste metod didn't works, and it works with a really scratches game

I’ve heard deodrant could polish it

Melamine spnges work quite well for cleaning disks. Handy when your too lazy to grab a cleaning solution.

Try some oil. Fine sewing oil. Small coat! I it works on plastic

Toothpaste worked for me

You have to wait like 10 minutes for it to dry then you wipe it off, it works better trust

Hey thanks! My disc has the same problem as the Tomb Raider disc!

im gonna try puffing out with toothpaste then spray it with clear plaint

I don't have a few of those.

Hi James. Toothpaste worked for me. The trick is to use a small amount of toothpaste in conjunction with a small amount of water. Step 1: Squeeze a small amount of toothpaste onto your bare index finger and transfer the toothpaste onto the disc with your finger. Step 2: Smear out the toothpaste just a little bit, and now add a few drops of water onto your finger and add those drops of water to the toothpaste that's on the disk. Step 3: Now smear the watery toothpaste around on the disc using your finger for a half minute or less. The toothpaste will be of a loose and soapy consistency. Step 4: Wash away the toothpaste with cold or slightly warm running water. Let dry. Toothpaste is basically soap; however, I wouldn't use hand soap on the disk because it would probably leave a residue on the disk, wear as the toothpaste is designed to wash away.

The skip dr doesn’t work

The other methods didn’t work because you didn’t leave them on for long enough

I'm sure that PlayStation lens isn't pretty either! Thing looks like it came out of a garage.

Me dumping everything he used mario bros wiiiiiiiiiiiii

U got PlayStation 2

Tried the toothpaste and the Vaseline both didn’t work

This method made my disc worse smh

OMG TTYSMSMSM AM SUB!!!

None of these worked for me I don’t have the money for the last thing

toothpaste wrekt my CD's

This guy needs to learn how take better care of his discs

Toothpaste, to work for me, though

Yeap my CD its worse

💀 You just bricked your Playstation. You know that, right? Some PS2s have discrete logic chips that brick the console if you insert an invalid disc into the system.

انت غشاش كل الاقراص يشتغلون

The banana thing, you are supposed to use the banana itself, not the peel 🤣

Does it have to be white toothpaste?🪥🦷

Anthony pre cure futari wa purple 💜🟣 biue 💙 fly honoka yuishrio while costume cosplay Beerus

None of these worked and I don’t have a skipdr

Jelly really worked🥲🤗.....
