Fix Scratched PS2 Games

At one time or another, there will be a point where we will have to fix our video game disc. This may be due to our rough use, our friend's rough use, whatever. A scratched game disc will be quite irritating to play with and the PS2 may not even read it. So, let's begin.

Steps

Using Toothpaste

1. Take a small amount of toothpaste and lay it on your preferred disc.
2. Apply the paste on the disc in a circular pattern. Remember this as the friction the circular motion creates results in the removal of scratches.
3. After about 10 minutes, wash the disc thoroughly with cold water.

Using a Banana

1. Take the banana and apply it on the disc in a circular motion.
2. After 4-6 minutes, wash the disc with cold water.

Using a Deodorant

1. Apply your deodorant all around the disc. Be careful, as too much deodorant can cause damage to the layers of the disc and the PS2 laser won't be able to take all that damage.
2. Immediately rub the disc slowly with a clean, soft cloth. Don't rub too hard as it may end up leaving patches on the disc.
3. Depending on what deodorant you are using, the disc may be destroyed, beyond your reach or repaired. And voila! That's how you remove scratches.

Tips

• Sometimes, if the scratches are too severe, you should take to a disc repair shop, as it will be more useful than wasting toothpaste and deodorant.
• If none of the above methods work, then just Google it; it will have more ideas.
• Some good deodorants to use on the disc are Axe and, if you are very rich, a Louis Philippe or Lamborghini may do good.

Warnings

• Don't apply too much deodorant on the disc.
• Don't exert too much pressure when cleaning the disc after applying the deodorant.
• Deodorant should be used as only a last resort, as it may end up destroying your disc.
