Hi

I have read somewhere abt some trick to ensure ur DVD disk works well by using toothpaste..can somebody tell in detail how

well you have take very little toothpaste on your index finger , & spread it on scratches gently , since toothpaste has little particles it will feel scratch making the dis read-able again , well that's what it says in theory & i have tried about 5 times now , i was able make my 2 dvds read -able again so this trick may or it may not work on your dvds;

Have a nice day.

This is a video demonstration of dvd cleaning using toothpaste.

Eve i did, it was not predictable.............

toothpaste cannot make scratches go. it is just the detergent part of the toothpast that just cleans the disk's surface.

if u seriously gotta recover a disk then use those commercial fluids that, when spread on the surface of a disk, fill up the scratches as they are special chemicals that have similar refraction as the plastic on a optical disk thus removing the scratch effect little bit.

I thought the silica in the paste ground the scratch

can u name those chemicals and their prices please

^ well it has been a long time since i used one but the one i got was from some Indian company but it did not help much. it was i think 135rs and came as a clear sky blue fluid.
