To maintenance your CD disc, it is very important to clean it, no matter if it is scratched or scuffed, dust, oil or other surface contaminants. Do the following to clean your CD disc:

If find a stubborn dirt or grease on the CD disc, gently rub it with your finger while you are washing it. Or you can use a gentle detergent or liquid soap or rubbing alcohol, which will do better on the cleaning.
When making the CD disc clean, shake the water off and wait for the disc dry in air. (Remember never dry the CD disc with a towerl or cloth to prevent it from stained again, nor try sun-dry).
Play the CD disc. In fact, the scratched CD disc will be useful again after this step. Try to play the CD in a different CD player. Some players in the market do a better job on the scratched CD playback than others.
Copy the CD to a new disc. Although your CD is playable in some CD player, it is suggested to copy the scratched CD to a new disc. Then your new CD will be played correctly by all CD players in all computers.
Step 2 Repair foil scratches on CD.
First, determine if you have a scratch in the disc’s foil. Hold the CD in clear view of a bright light, shiny side up to see if there are small areas on the disc indicating the signs of the foil missing.

Finally remove the polishing product from the CD disc. If you are using the toothpaste, rinse the disc with warm water and then wait it for air-dry. If you are using Brasso, just wipe off excess product on the CD and wait the reset dry, and then wipe the disc with a clean, soft cloth,
