Beside toothpaste, a tooth-powder is very usefull - its abrasivity is very good, but it`s hard to buy this thing today.
The same with chalk (if disk is scrached very badly), but you sould find very fine-grained one, w/o any dirt and use it with caution - then use finer abrasive, such as toothpaste.

no,it wasnt just dirt.
it had a big fuck off scratch right down the front of the disc.
i thought the cd was knackered but i cloned it with my lite-on now it works great
