A particular cd of mine has been bad. There was nothing I did not do for six years to fix it to no avail. After watching this video, I tried crest toothpaste, applying it lavishly and leaving it for ten minutes before wiping it off with cotton wool (thrice). It worked like a charm to my disbelief.
VASELINE METHOD WORKS WELL! even either the coco butter version. My DVD player went from saying it has a problem reading the disk. To reading it in less than 30 seconds. I previously tried soap and water with toothpaste. Did not work. I used the Vaseline was unsure because it was the coco butter version, but it worked like a charm. Wiped it off with a towel. Put it in the player and within less than 30 seconds it was already reading it and has worked like a charm since. High recommend the Vaseline method for scratched music cds, DVDs, blu rays, and more. Loved this method. I was so excited and happy something finally worked.
I have recently bought a PS2 game with the same Tomb Raider issue. I tried toothpaste and polishing material with no sucess, After I watched the vaseline method (I had alred watched this video some months ago, but now this tip really shoned), I gave it a try and it works! I think this is the best method for those that are having the same problem to repair their PS2 Discs ( I'm not quite sure if it will work with another disc issues on other consoles) . Nice tip, man. God bless!
Thank you for this video. I just fixed one of my favorite music CDs with soap and water then I applied the vaseline, now the tracks that were skipping are playing great. I am happy thank you x
can you tell me exactly what you did? because i have tried hell lotta things till now to repair one of my old and scratched tom and jerry dvd, but nothing has worked for me. i hope this one works.
I tried the toothpaste to buff followed by the vaseline to polish on my scratched audio CDs and it worked a treat! Managed to recover some good old stuff I thought was well past it.
Hello, wow, thank you. Will try the petroleum jelly one out. The way you present this video is great. Just read your "about" section and am sorry to see you have stopped making more videos. Will be praying for you for a break through so you can continue doing what you enjoy. Thank you for leaving the TH-cam channel up for us. Take care and God bless you and yours.
Awhile ago I read on a forum someone used a windshield chip repair kit on discs with great success. I've thought about giving it a shot, but it never crosses my mind when I'm actually at a store.
Enjoyed the video! I really like your format, looking forward to seeing what else you come up with as I've been intro retro collecting a lot this year.
@@LastHeartGames Please don't take the Lord's name in vane, in that video you did not have to get too excided that when you put the xbox disc in it, you should have done it nicely and after your could of pressed the eject button again for it to close, what you did was too rough.
I didn't have anything else but beeswax, so I tried it. Seems to work. It was 100% pure, got it on Amazon for ten dollars for a small container of it. I use it for lots of stuff around the house, so I decided to give it a whirl. Will invest in a cd repair kit like you showed as well.
I used Aquaphor last night on an Another dvd. Had to use four coats to finally fully play one of the episodes. The problematic scratch was still visible and still pronounced but it played through. So I ripped that last episode and return the dvd to the library.
I'd love to see a similar test for audio CDs, since being able to hear how much more or less it skips would be a great indication of precisely how much these methods fix the scratches. ofc, depends if you have any lying around ;)
Supposedly car scratch remover is best because it erodes the scratched plastic away. Of course you can’t let it erode too far. Might try the vaseline method on a dvd I have with one deep scratch.
Methodology leaves a lot to be desired but given the limited "everything" you did alright Tip: Typical buffing/sanding is done orbitally because it travels repeatedly over adjacent areas in forward motion multiplying actual surface coverage and minimalising potential over pressuring Mind you, 2k grade wetNdry sandpaper followed by 2.5k will fix all scratches and then light buff with no pastes, 3 minutes max 😎
I followed another video which suggested 2K then 2.5K, then some paste. I used a 3K (wet), which actually left it looking pretty scratched. Maybe I did something wrong, but buffing didn't seem to help after that. Some headlight restoration abrasive polish was getting it better, but it was still obviously scratchy. The last thing I tried was neutral shoe polish, which has got the DVD mostly playing, but with the odd glitch. Maybe I'll try the toothpaste and vaseline next.
It would have been nice, at the end of all of the attempted repairs, if you had tried the petroleum jelly on the ones that did not repair with the other methods to see if the petroleum would be successful in ultimately repairing all of the discs. If there were still discs that the petroleum jelly could not repair, then the success or failure of each method was more dependent on the individual condition of the disc, rather than the method being used to repair it. It could be that the toothpaste and the magic eraser method might work on some discs, whereas another method might work better on other discs. Just a thought.
Thanks for this video. I wish you had tried the petroleum jelly on the other discs that didn't work with other methods, I'm dying to know if the results would have been different.
vaseline worked , so i dabbed it on my madden 2020 cd. I had a warm microfober towel ready placed below it for ease of use and comfort. I made sure to do circular motions with the vaseline while making sure none of my sweat dripped onto it. I then placed hot stones around it, and lit incense to set a mood. Afterwards I used the warm towel to wipe off the vaseline and said encouraging words to the cd. I then placed the cd inside the console and it didnt work. So then I bought a new game.
toothpaste method saved a couple of my ps4 discs. just clean your disc with running water , let it dry for a minute or 2 , now fill the disc with toothpaste and put it in the freezer for 1 or 2 hours(not a joke , this is in fact the most important step). then take it out the freezer and rinse again with running water.
I tried the tooth paste method on 2 discs. One with only light scuffs worked. The other had some more pronounced linear scratches didn't work. So mileage on that one may vary.
My midnight club 3 works to start game but stops at loading screen before racing So I’ll try the methods to clean it because that game is known to freeze a lot
I bought Watchdogs for my Xbox 360. The game disc works but the install disc doesnt and I am very dissapointed. Im thinking of buying a disc doctor because I dont wanna fuck it up more than it is. Its mainly light stratches but theyre all over the disc. Watchdogs is one of my favorite games because its one of the first games I had for PS3. Hopefully it works soon enough
Even verified cleaners like Novus can take 2-10 cleanings to work. Some of these will likely work if you do multiple applications. It’s also a disc by disc process. Meaning some of these may work on another. No fix corrects everything
Was this an ad for the "skip doctor"? Something felt off about that last disc, Sims 2. You didn't show the scratches on the disc at the start like you did with all the others. You could have easily switched discs to one you know works and prevented us identifying it based on it's scratch pattern by not showing us the original.
The toothpaste method can work, just you may need to wipe it a few times and reapply. Depends how much time you are willing to spend. And even if you think you've wiped the excess off. You probably haven't. Still not working try reapplying and wiping again.
Yes your right, it took me a 2nd time to get my Gamecube game to load. the 2nd time I applied it differently in a spiral motion which they say not to do but it worked.
@@RykerTG I was fixing a game disk... the ps4 would not register the game, after i vaselined it the ps4 read it no problem. it was only until after the game update and the startup of the game that the Ps could not read the game
I would think the petroleum jelly would end up getting warmed up in the player, possibly making the CD hard to read eventually. Make it collect alot of dust.
I have a JFJ Easy Pro, and while the branding and name may make it seem like some crappy chinese product, its actually a very useful disc resurfacer that makes your discs look like new.
@@RykerTG Any game disc, although you need a smaller buffing wheel for gamecube discs. It also works on blu rays, although it'll probably never be neccesary to buff one out for most people. The protective coating holds up way better on blu rays than dvds.
@cheezyfriez12 Blu-ray format discs actually take less scratches to be unplayable. I was playing DBX on Xbox One for so long that it was scratching the disc and just like that the disc was acting up.
what have you done to make the toothpaste method work? ive tried it a few times, it has worked twice but if i close out of the game and then try to get back into the game it doesnt work, is there anything i can do?
@@menahanna2292 I just use to put a nice amount on the disk and spread it around until it cover the whole disk. The I would just use running water to take it all off. Once there was not more toothpast it would just air blow it dry to not add anymore smudges. It would pretty for me, probably does nothing if the disk is deeply scratched though. I've since gone all digital so haven't done it in awhile. Good luck!
@@robertodiaz1597 Just tried the toothpaste method. It worked on the 2nd try. The first time I spread out the tooth past from center to edge and left it on for 5 minutes before rising it off and drying it. I tested it and did not work the 2nd time I tried I spread the toothpaste on in a spiral motion let it sit five minutes then rinsed and dried it off and it worked. This was tested on a GameCube game that wouldnt load.
@@pandapackin I used links gold deodorant for my call of duty finest hour sprayed the links on the cd kept it on the for a week to and then washed it and it work
The colour of the reflective side doesn’t matter, I’d recommend picking up one of those cheap disc cleaning devices like the SkipDoctor and using that, as unlike toothpaste or vasoline, the fluid it uses is specifically designed to clean optical discs.
@@Pokéfan1388 as I remember (cuz I did it 4 months ago) I did exactly like the video, and tried for like 4 times, and then it worked. Actually sometimes the game still freeze during the loading but the 70% of the time it works, before it never worked, so it worth to try
@goku-fp9ik My Wii game is very scratched so the methods didn't work and toothpaste made it worse for some reason. I rather not repeat a method too much because I am just wasting it and it can mess up the disc if it wasn't done properly.
Hi James. Toothpaste worked for me. The trick is to use a small amount of toothpaste in conjunction with a small amount of water. Step 1: Squeeze a small amount of toothpaste onto your bare index finger and transfer the toothpaste onto the disc with your finger. Step 2: Smear out the toothpaste just a little bit, and now add a few drops of water onto your finger and add those drops of water to the toothpaste that's on the disk. Step 3: Now smear the watery toothpaste around on the disc using your finger for a half minute or less. The toothpaste will be of a loose and soapy consistency. Step 4: Wash away the toothpaste with cold or slightly warm running water. Let dry. Toothpaste is basically soap; however, I wouldn't use hand soap on the disk because it would probably leave a residue on the disk, wear as the toothpaste is designed to wash away.
I use the kind of Vaseline that also has Coa-Coa Butter infused into it. I rub a glob in circular motions until the whole bottom surface is coated, then I use a Micro Fiber Cloth to remove all the Vaseline. After that I can stick the Audio CD in my Computer and use DB Power Amp to rip the CD at 320kbps with the slowest ripping speed DB Power Amp will allow. This gives it more time to correct for any errors.
all these work to some degree but if the scratches are bad enough you'll need to use a professional buffer which is very cheap now days most game stores can do it usually costs like $2-$5
get a wood drill, jam it into the end of a wine bottle cork, put toothpaste on the disc and buff out the scratches using a drill with the woid drill bit in the drill, use a medium speed , it will work even on bad scratches but note some discs wont work if the lable side info is damagec or the center info is damaged ,
A disc doctor or something similar is the best method. I buy and borrow lots of audio cds and my library has a disc cleaning device you can use, I’ve found it works better than toothpaste, and vasoline harms the disc more in my experience
Also, the cleaning solution I use for my glasses tends to work great, im pretty sure it’s very similar to the solution they use in those disc cleaners.
I remember I did vaseline and it didn't really do anything. It stopped at the same time. I tried toothpaste and made it worse but I might try the library because I do have one a bit close to me. I never asked them for anything that cleans disc. I'm certain they have one though.
I buffed a dvd with a peice of poop when I ran out of toothpaste and it worked. It was only thing handy since my pup just squeezed off again on the bathroom floor.
U tried the banana but then it appear ps2 game you also were supposed to use the actual banana and rub it in circles on it lol I literally just tried it with the banana then washing it after with cold water and it booted first try lol

Also, the cleaning solution I use for my glasses tends to work great, im pretty sure it’s very similar to the solution they use in those disc cleaners.
I remember I did vaseline and it didn't really do anything. It stopped at the same time. I tried toothpaste and made it worse but I might try the library because I do have one a bit close to me. I never asked them for anything that cleans disc. I'm certain they have one though.
The toothpaste works for me best
The other methods didn’t work because you didn’t leave them on for long enough
Have you heard of the motorized scratch fixer sold by JFJ?
The banna one made my disc worse
a drill and a buffing pad with car repair stuff can fix disc's
Toothpaste method worked great.
thanks for testing i will try
Try some oil. Fine sewing oil. Small coat! I it works on plastic
What about Mineral Oil aka Baby Oil?
Try turtle 🐢 wax or armoural it works too…. But gotta buff 💪 the disc more to get the scratches out …..
Maybe your laser in the playstation needs cleaning ..sometimes its not the disk .
I buffed a dvd with a peice of poop when I ran out of toothpaste and it worked. It was only thing handy since my pup just squeezed off again on the bathroom floor.
Nice work
The skip dr doesn’t work
Wer Can i Gett The skipp Doctor?😀
This method made my disc worse smh
For the Ps2 Discs Get Novus 2 Fine Scratch Remover
@@hurricane7727 what about xbox 360? I can't fix my Forza Horizon 1 Disc
Does some of these work for DVD disc?
Maybe
Yea tried it with scarface if u know what that is
You have to wait like 10 minutes for it to dry then you wipe it off, it works better trust
Melamine spnges work quite well for cleaning disks. Handy when your too lazy to grab a cleaning solution.
I don't have a few of those.
None of these worked for me I don’t have the money for the last thing
Tried the toothpaste and the Vaseline both didn’t work
Keep trying. I made my wii disc for after i put toothpaste on it like a million times.
Was very time consuming but was worth it
U got PlayStation 2
Yeap my CD its worse
U tried the banana but then it appear ps2 game you also were supposed to use the actual banana and rub it in circles on it lol I literally just tried it with the banana then washing it after with cold water and it booted first try lol
Thankyou so much

I'm sure that PlayStation lens isn't pretty either! Thing looks like it came out of a garage.
This guy needs to learn how take better care of his discs
Toothpaste worked for me
thanks man
Try put sunscreen
Hey thanks! My disc has the same problem as the Tomb Raider disc!
toothpaste wrekt my CD's
It didn't wreck mine but it did make it slightly worse. Toothpaste doesn't completely ruin a game unless you put too much on it.
@@Pokéfan1388 it al;so depends if your toothepaste has plastic pellets in it and perhaps more factors, im not an expert on toothpaste :p.
It totally wrekt mine tho with bad scratching all over
Toothpaste, to work for me, though
OMG TTYSMSMSM AM SUB!!!
