   7. Gently rub the paste-covered cotton swab over the scratches until they disappear. The paste can cause more scratches, but these are only superficial and can easily be removed.
   8. Rinse the disc off with clean water and dry it using a soft and lint-free cloth. Never use tissues or paper to clean the disc.
   9. Play the disc once more and see if it jumps again. If it still does, repeat the procedure and rub a paste-covered cotton swab on it a bit harder. If the toothpaste doesn't work, use the Brasso instead.
