How to Buff Out Scratches on Your PS2 Game

PlayStation 2 games can become scratched when they are left out, drop from the user's hands or simply receive many years of wear and tear. If your game has fallen victim to a scratch, you can often repair it within 10 minutes using items you have at home.

Things You'll Need

Toothpaste
Washcloth
Paper towel

Instructions

- 1
  Carefully hold the disc by its edges or through its center hole to prevent scratching or marking the disc up further.
- 2
  Turn on a sink and adjust the temperature of the water until it is lukewarm. Wait until the water has cleared off any debris or smudges on the disc.
- 3
  Completely coat the shiny underside of the disc with gentle tabs of toothpaste. Smudge the toothpaste over it and be careful not to scratch it with your nails.
- 4
  Let the disc sit out in the air for approximately 10 minutes until it has dried in the air.
- 5
  Take a damp washcloth or screen cleaning rag and remove the toothpaste by pushing it out from the center to the edge.
- 6
  Rinse the disc and pat it dry with a paper towel. Do not allow any toothpaste or drops of water to remain on the underside.
