Disc scratch remover? (looking for recommendation)

[James in VA]

Can somebody recommend a product to clean discs and remove scratches (e.g. from used games) at a CAG-worthy price? Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

I've seen this stuff at Big Lots but I can't recall the price...probably $5 or less:

Home remedies include car polish and toothpaste (not gel). Google for more ideas.

Peanut butter. It works very well to fill in scratches, try that first before you buy anything.

If you have a Blockbuster near you they will do it for around 2 dollars. Its the best i've seen, was recommended to me by a Gamestop employee. I'm sure any video or game rental buisness would have a high quality machine. I've taken borrowed games that were moved while a xbox 360 was on into my local Blockbuster and they did it for free since the marks were so bad, worked perfectly when I booted it up.

I find a number of used games pretty scratched so I take advantage of what Scriber recommended at Blockbuster, your local video store, etc. I've been told, though, that if I'm handy at all I could build my own (like the video store's, not like the mini ones you buy at Best Buy) for about $60. I've been kicking around the idea, but I'm sure you could find plenty of people online who have detailed what they built. I suppose if you clean enough games, it makes sense to save money using your own!
