Been doing it for 18 years and it never failed once. Any console too! Thank you for the Toothpaste info. You saved me from needing to buy the game again to replay! Thank you so much! I used the vasoline way and I thought it would have broke my disc but I decided to try it anyways and it worked thanks.
Use some sort of car polish or t-cut with a fluffy cloth and take 2 mins to buff with some pressure and it will be like new. That brought me here. I did exactly what this article told me and now instead of 2 big scratches I now have 2 big scratches and an area covered in tiny scratches where the toothpaste was applied.
I gently applied some jelly over the needed area, waited 1 minute and gently wiped it off with a lint free LCD screen wipe. But give the petroleum a try, it might smooth over smaller scratches. The toothpaste worked for me — remember, only rub it in a straight line and also only do it from The centre outwards outer Motion. Also I may only work on smaller scratches which is what I had.
I can vouch for it! The Toothpaste Method works! I had to do it a couple of times but it worked! Either way thank you so much! Your email address will not be published.

Then I heard something that sounded like scratching. I opened the disc tray immediately and when I looked at the underside of my game there were circular scatches that ran around the entire disc.
I tried cleaning it and putting it in again only to hear the same scratching sounds and the xbox tells me the disc is now unreadable. I did not move my xbox. There were no vibrations in the house. I did not change it from a vertical to horizontal position or vice versa. The thing just ruined my game. If scratches you can get the disk repaired at various different games stores e.
