Does toothpaste for disk repair really work?
August 29th, 2010
I did some research on how to repair my halo 3 disk, and most people are saying that toothpaste will work, but most of the videos that feature toothpaste repairing their disks, could have edited the video to make it look like the method worked. Maybe all the videos are out there to trick me into doing it, and then i make a video to trick other people for their disk gets ruined. That’s ridiculous. So I’ll leave it up to you, does toothpaste really work for repairing scratches on XBOX 360 disks? Please answer if you’ve done it.

i have done it but i does work a litttle and i know y it got scratch because u moved the 360 while it was playing right? thats how mine got scratch and please put me as best answer
The only way you will ever know is to try it yourself. I can see it removing minor scratches but don’t expect a miracle.
I tried Colgate toothpaste (majority web search recommended), used a very light touch with eye glass soft cloth, and this put a whole lot more scratches on my xbox 360 Resident Evil disc. I freaked out, then polished the disc with petroleum (Vaseline), I still saw all the scratches I added to the original 3 light scratches that were causing my game to skip, but, I whipped it in my Xbox and it played. Maybe I was lucky, (I’m never lucky), I dunno… If you can live with the possibility of damaging your disc forever, or having to buy a new disc, give it a try. And during open game store hours
ADMIN EDIT: Why live with damage when you don’t have to?
NO, it only scratches discs more.
ADMIN EDIT: Toothpaste? I would think so…
moderators keep taking down my comments, perhaps they encourage damaging game discs so you’ll have to buy another, possibly another console as well. I can tell you I researched the “toothpaste” fix as well then tried it, and it severely scratches discs. many times only professional resurfacing will fix a disc. Good luck, my comment will prolly deleted AGAIN.
Well, Ryan, if someone wants to try your suggestions, it’s up to them.
Go at your OWN RISK.
