  I've found
that 'Brasso' applied by hand can descratch a CD 
that was unreadable due to serious scratching and make it
useable.  
 What's Brasso? 
Small tin with white pop off cap, tin is covered in blue and white, 
thick white stuff pours out of it on cloth and rubbed on tanished 
metals to get it bright again.

The powder in it is sightly gritty enough to polish scratched CDs.  
rub slow on wrong side, u don't want heat to melt plastic so no power 
buffing.

Toothpaste will work, heatsink grease will do that too.  I used that 
heatsink grease to polish off tanished silver platings on those VCR 
mode switches then protect it with coat of silicone grease.   Very 
effective long-term fix.

Cheers,

Wizard
