Chances are, if you have a scratched up game or music CD that does not work anymore, well I will show you how to repair this CD in no time. All you need for this project is some toothpaste and some running water. Squeeze a little bit of toothpaste on the CD and begin smearing in a circular motion throughout the CD. Once the CD is fully covered with toothpaste, let it is stay for about five minutes. After five minutes has passed, you can rinse the toothpaste off with water. Once it is fully rinsed, get yourself a cloth or T-shirt and gently dry off the CD. When you are done, you have a newly refurbished CD that looks and plays like new. So have fun cleaning your old and scratched up material.
