Those C.D. scratch remover kits and cleaning kits?

i have a couple old cds that are kinda scratched and wonder
if i should buy one of these kits or just buy the cd again.
or download it.. yeah, i think i'll download it.

..nevermind

for removing the scratches

you put a little toothpaste on the scratch leave it there
for some seconds then gently wipe it off, the toothpaste
almost has the same refractive index as the cd material, if
everything went ok it won't skip anymore, it'll just go
through it (maybe you have a millisecond of silence but you
don't notice that, and with a scratch remover you'd have
that too)

try it, it worked for me :)
