scratched disk

i recently bought an original playstation at a yard sale, and i had one earlier, but a cord broke, anyway i was so stoked that i could play final fantasy 8 again, i tried and it turns out disk one is scratched, all the other disks are fine, but i was hoping someone on BTS could help me by telling me a way to repair a scratched disk

get Tooth paste (the org clay white ones) old school toothpaste

wipe your disk with a clotg (get dust and all the other stuff off)
put the tooth paste on and rub gently onto the disk using the circle motion covering the whole disk, leave for 2-3 min

the rinse under warm water

then dry with a clean cloth

you may have just let me beat ultimicia, thanks, ima go try now

If you take it into a local game store, they usually clean it up for free!

I'd also recommend the toothpaste trick.
I've tried that with a number of my games and it really does work.
