I'm not sure if this has been posted before but I just learned that if you have a DVD that is badly scratched or tends to skip a lot just take some toothpaste (not gel but paste) and rub it on the DVD with your finger for about 30 seconds and then rinse it with warm water and pat dry. I tried this with a couple of my DVDs and it worked on both! Just wanted to share this tip with all of you! :-P |

You can also use it to get water spots out of finished furniture! But it will leave a very polished area when you do it. Better than a white, water spot though. |

just be careful with what type of toothpaste you use, if you buy the plain unscented/unflavored toothpaste, it generally works perfectly. However, any of the special toothpastes like mint favored, whitening, tartar control, etc, are usually too rough on dvds and wind up just smearing all over the place lol. |

if you have a dirty film over the headlight lens of your car, use tootpaste with baking soda. Put a glob of toothpaste on a little green scrubby sponge, smear it on the headlight lens, scrub for about 5 minutes, wipe it off and polish the lens with some Windex glass cleaner. Tadaa! The headlight lens is clean (and if it isn't...repeat the process) And whatever you do, don't buy that junk they advertise on tv...it doesn't work! ! ! ! |

actually believe it or not,shaving cream i found works best...not with aloe or any other ingrediants.just regular barbasol that you can buy at a dollar store instructions are easy simply apply shaving cream to the disc..use an unscented tisue(no aloe of vicks vapor rub) to swirl around the dvd in a circular clockwise motion.let it dry for about 2 or 3 minutes...wipe clean in same motion it is that simple.always works for me p.s. forgot where i read it...but they said toothpaste is to ebrasive to clean the discs,just fyi. but it is your choice.

...except for the fact that you are never supposed to wipe DVDs in a circular motion. If you scratch it in a circle, you are wiping out a huge chunk of the 'track' that the player reads. DVD players can make adjustments for minor loss in information, but these scratches are too much and are what make the movie pause or freeze. Scratches that go from the center out only mess up a tiny little bit of the track at a time, so DVD players can handle skipping over that part without messing up the movie. Therefore, when wiping a disc, always wipe from the center outward. |
