You were using the wrong toothpaste or a gel based oneģ. There's 3 reasons why it might not have worked for you (I'm trying to help by the way not start a rant ) :Ģ. This worked for me and can work for others so your post should really say "it didn't work for me" If the scratches are too bad it won't work and to be fair this took me about an hour of polishing it over and over.Īlso the data isn't lost unless you scratch the actual upper layer with the disc art off as the data is held underneath it and not on the plastic itself. I understand where you're coming from though it never works because it depends on the method used, which is why I'm volunteering to test them outĮdit: I needed to use whitening paste which was like sanding the disc then the colgate which is like polishing it. This is the first time this copy of the game has worked in years thanks to colgate. Not to say you're wrong or anything Rayfist but. With some games it's probably easier to just buy another copy but if it's a rare game or you haven't got money to dish out buying the game again, then it's worth a try.

Whitening toothpaste will buff out the scratches and then ordinary white toothpaste with a lint free cloth will polish it again making it look almost good as new. So basically it can work depending on how badly your disc is scratched. After polishing it for a few minutes I rinsed the disc off expecting it to look hideous and to my surprise it was shiny again. I don't understand why, it must have little bits in it.īut then I took one of my lint free cloths for cleaning my classes, used the normal white paste (colgate maximum cavity protection regular), polished the game while using a couple drops of water every so often to stop the paste getting too dry. Fresh Mint makes it worse you'll end up with even more scratches than pearl drops. If you use Colgate cavity use " Great Regular Flavour" and not " Fresh Mint". This was clearly going to affect the laser trajectory in a bad way. The result of course was millions of light radial scratches all over the disc which made it look like a layer of dirt. I used a whitening toothpaste (pearl drops) on a Rayman 3 disc I had and just went in a radial (small circles) motion for a few minutes. The problem here is while this actually manages to buff out some of the medium scratches, it leaves you with hundreds of light scratches which might affect it even more.Īfter all of these tests I just figured something out today. So basically in the last month I've tried ordinary white toothpaste with a t-shirt to polish it or just my finger, which didn't do enough and seemed to leave the disc in the same condition.

Since I have a few scratched PS2 games I got for free I decided I'd try it out again and I figured out a few things.įirstly if it's full of deep scratches it's just not going to work, but if it has a few light/medium ones that aren't too bad it has a chance. I never thought that it would work and thought people were just making stuff up. So has anybody ever had a game they like get scratched and no longer work but then actually try to use toothpaste to fix it? Well I've tried it a few times and it never worked for me.
