Repair with Homemade Solution

• Fix your CD by using household materials. Put a drop of dishwashing liquid into a quart of bottled, or distilled, water. Mix the solution up and dampen a lint-free cloth with it. Gently wipe the scratched area of your CD, in a linear motion from center to edge, with the damp cloth.
  
  

Fix with Toothpaste
