How to Easily Remove Scratches from DVDs Removing scratches from DVDs can be simple if you know how. Here are some approaches that work: 1.
One of the most common do-it-yourself methods is the toothpaste method, in which a little non-abrasive white toothpaste is applied. Put it on a lint free clean cloth, and carefully dab the scratch from center to outside of disc. This method is good for scratching scratches, because light rubbing will stimulate the mild abrades contained in these tooth pastes to remove some of the paint on the surface of your DVD (scratches).
Vaseline or Oil-Based Products: This method works effectively by filling scratches through petroleum jellyor other oil-based products. Clean the disc and put a small amount of Vaseline on an ultra smooth cloth to rub softly over scratch in concentric circles. Naturally, this technique massively aids in filling in said scratch and will dramatically reduce the difference that you hear when playing back.
Professional Resurfacing: For scratches that are too deep for home remedies, think about professional resurfacing. Go to the local library or video game shop and see if they have a resurfacing machine which smoothly polishes discs back into working order. It is best suited for heavily damaged DVDs.DVD repair (ad)
While effective, these methods may not work on all scratches and do little to fix deeper scratches which penetrate through the disc’s data layer. Remember to handle your DVDs with care in order to avoid future damage.
