How to clean a game disc 3 ways!

Follow
Restore and Replay: Video Game Preservation

Tonight, on Restore & Replay: We should you how to clean a game disc using 3 different compounds.

Novus 2, Car Scratch Remover, and...... toothpaste.

While toothpaste isn't the best thing to use on a disc, or even in the top 10, it IS possible to use toothpaste to clean a disc, but there's a catch. We'll get into all of that.

As we continue to collect and document every cleaning method known in this galaxy, we will also be sure to make individual videos for each of these methods (for the archive).

TOOLS WE USED:
Novus Step 2
Meguiars ScratchX 2.0
Crest Toothpaste
Paper towels

I'm not expecting anyone to try the toothpaste method (it creates a bit of a mess), but understanding why toothpaste works will help folks to understand what can be used to resurface discs and why it works!
