Well, we all know the correct way to clean a disc? Many people clean it in a circle, and then yell at you when you tell them they are doing it wrong, saying that they are doing it right. Well, they are WRONG! You clean in a circle, you leave a scratch in a circle, the laser reads it in a circle, you may have a scratch that totally covers several tracks on that CD, rendering a good portion of it useless. You want to clean, in a straight line, from the center out... Or the outer in, depends on you. It's easier from the center. Go from the center of the CD, in a straight line, outwards to the brim. And clean like that and ONLY like that for the entire CD.
The Tootpaste Solution: You have to have a rag that you would ordinarilly clean a cd with, so as it wont scratch it all up. You take a VERY SMALL amount of the most natural additive free non-abrasive toothpaste you cnan get your hands on. Using a small dollip of it (Maybe only slightly larger than the amount of compound you would put on a CPU when applying a heatsink) and you place it on the scratch. With the rag, gently, but sternly, run the toothpaste into the scratch. Keep polishing the entire CD with the way mentioned above, and just keep working at it until the blemish dissapears, using SMALL amount of toothpaste when you need more. This does not ALWAYS work, but it sometimes does. When you have gouges, there is really no way to get rid of those. You can make them less sucky, but you cant always get tid of everything.
