Ways to clean a scratched disk ?

[Psychosocial]

Can you guys suggest me some methods to clean scratched disc ? I have tried to clean 3 different discs with 3 different methods (the Dettol/Savlon method, the toothpaste method and the simple mineral water method) and the last one kinda works... the others just ****ed up my disc more .

Any more quick and cheap methods to clean a disk ?

@DJ: Ewwwww... Keep reminding me to never ever accept any CDs from you.

@Psycho: You might want to apply some fevicol carefully on the disc and then peel it off after it dries up. (Credits: Agent001)

wtf DJ you used the most insane way..... there are also easy way like washing with water and cleaning it with nice cloth... lol

Take a dry clean cloth.
Spray ur deo on it (on the cloth not disc)
Then wipe the disc in a circular motion. Start from inner part and then gradually go to edges.

The OP has already used "washing with water" method and cleaning with nice cloth, yup I do it after spreading the saliva all over...

Wiping in circular motion is not recomended.

Wiping in circular motion is not recomended.

Why???
I've read in numerous sites, even Digit also wrote that we should always wipe in circular motion...

i read that cleaning in circular motion will further fu!@ up the disk. my friend tells me and (does it him self) to put the disk in water and freeze it. i never heard him saying it works.
the problem with after shave and products like that is these will leave smudge on the disks which will render the disk usless. the disk always has to be shinny.
the best way to avoid all the trouble is to keep them safe and NOT to burn them at their full speed (which i heard reduces the life)

for me some times plan water works. but not always.

No, you should always clean a disk by wiping from the inside towards the edge of the disk.

Well I tried the deo method and wiped the disc from inside towards the edges (coz I think that circular wiping will mess up the disk more) and it kinda worked!
