text: how do i clean a scratched dsc? i have an xbox game disc that got scratched thanks to 3 yo and a computer game disc that is also scratched.  i've tried the vasoline trick and that didn't work. cds get a lot of scratches overtime.  i see you have tried the vaseline trick.  did you try the toothpaste? howabout wipe off?  let me post it for you in case you haven't:  squirt toothpaste around the scatched cd.   take the face cloth (or towel) and wipe the tooth paste (don't use the clear gel type) around. use a circular pattern, don't rub too hard, but work the scratched area over well, and then wipe it off. wipe from the centre of the disc to the outer edges to prevent further damage to the disc.   after all toothpaste is gone you're good to go.   repeat steps 2 and 3 if necessary.   this doesn't always work but it should make a difference. scratches will be there but it won't skip anymore.  hope i was of help.
