Toothpaste or Metal PolishĪ popular at home method of disc repair includes either white toothpaste, or metal polish. The reason for this is because buffing out scratches does cause permanent damage to your game disc and may cause it to not work properly even if it was working before. We recommend only trying to fix scratches on a game disc if the scratches are causing the game to not be read, skip, or freeze during gameplay. If the scratches are light surface scratches, then there is a high chance that the scratches can be removed and the game will playable. If the scratches are too deep, even buffing them out will still cause the game disc to not play. However, just because scratches are removed from a game doesn’t mean that it will be fixed. Scratches can be removed from a game disc, but this usually requires some sort of buffing from a disc cleaner or machine.
