Solved: How to repair scratch DVD?
I have Airplane The Sequel II and i am selling it on Ebay because i got newer DVD which contains all series of Airplane.

I popped a room in Paltalk and asked how could i asked how could i repair scratch DVD by myself and one of member recommend me to polish it off with Turtle Wax polish. But i wasnt that stupid because im learning to drive so i know about car wax. I heard they're strong.

Other room recommend Data Doctor that i could look in Office Max or Depot. but i tried to google it and the result telling me about data recovery and cleanup.

Any idea and advice, can you help me, thanks

It depends on how deep the scratches are Rob,if really deep they cannot be repaired,but if light surface scratches the Turtle wax might do the job if used lightly,and I have also seen toothpaste recommended,they both contain a light abrasive and thats what takes the scratchs out ....

I've tried the toothpaste scratch removal process. Worked OK for minor scratches. Used an eyeglass or pc screen cleaning cloth with a little toothpaste and water rubbing the entire surface of the disk lightly. Did the wiping in circular motion around entire disk. Then washed off disk with warm water and wiped dry. Scratch may still be visible but the disk may play without problem after doing this. Again it all depends on how deep the scratch is. I would try it. Nothing to lose since the disk is scratched already. Good luck.
