Toothpaste, petroleum jelly, car polishes, and even bananas are suggested to fill these scratches and stop the refraction but that rarely actually helps. This would be obvious since that's a VERY deep scratch). This means the data is out of order and missing pieces for the player even though all the data is there in perfect condition (as long as the scratches don't reach that far. When the plastic gets scratched it causes the laser to refract (bend) and hit the wrong section of data. I watched all the popular videos and this is what I found.ĭiscs are made of poly-carbonate layers with a reflective data layer sandwiched in between.

I am a father, I have unreadable discs that cost between $30 and $60.
