- rub it ALL in, untill the toothpaste kinda faints......
- take a clean peace of cloth (or something) and wipe it all out..... the CD looks brand new, and more importantly - WORKS :)

what am i doing wrong!!
i apply the tooth paste to the surface then i use a polish cloth(all i could find) and rub until it disapears
do i just apply it with my fingers
i think ill ruin it if i put any more toothpaste

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!
theres improvment in the installiation it now gos up to 64% rather then the usually 61%.......and now it says damaged/missing file!!!!
but still its an improvement

edit: now 65 but still says missing file

Just don't let the disk get too hot, I had an old game that I kept polishing, the one day it got hot, And, well, it got full of tiny little cracks( they don't come out and ruin a disk)
