I used to look in wonder and amazement at some of the CDs and DVDs in my best friend's collection. How could he let them get in such a state? "Dude, treat them with more respect" I'd say. Then I had children, and found my CDs and DVDs were perfect replacements for frisbee toys, coasters and anything else they could think of.





Recently, I found several of my favorite music CDs and movies were unplayable due to some innocent playtime fun. Kids will be kids, there's little you can do to avoid that (especially if your CDs and DVDs are at kid-height). But before I reluctantly bought replacements, I figured I had nothing to lose by going to the web and finding remedies. If they worked, great. If not, I had lost nothing anyway.

toothpaste works well... brasso works better.. tried both.
But recently i came upon a webpage... two.. in fact... gizmodo/geeksaresexy where they mentioned a banana works equally well too.

A metacafe video on the same.

Toothpaste is opaque. Wouldn't something transparent like vaseline work better?

I have tried neither though.

its not transparency which matters... its how fine the suspension particles are in the medium. brasso rocks in that sense.

Tooth paste contains abrasives like silica which makes the trick work.
