The "tomato sauce method" worked for me. Cover the disc in the sauce, leave it for 10 minutes, then clean it off.

as said, tcut works wonders on a scrathced disc, also toothpaste does do a great job, the abrasives in both products will not damage the disc and you will have to rub hard to remove the scratch but that should your problem out,

I have done many discs this way, those disc repair machines game have are shite, they do not remove scratches unless they are barely visible in the first place.

Go to Game mate, £2.99 per disc or 3 for £5. I had 3 games done recently and they are mint now.

Forza wouldn't play Silverstone, COD MW2 wouldn't play but they are both perfect now and the discs are like new. Highly recommend it.

I've heard the semen from a Scorpian can fill in scratches on an xbox disk
