My son uses something called a DiscDr on his playstation discs with good result. He got it at WalMart for under $20. You put the disc in the device, put a few drops of cleaner on it, then close it up and crank the handle and VOILA - clean disc. It doesn't actually remove the scratches, but it cleans it enough to be read.
Dishwashing detergent and warm water will do a better jobDiscDr FTW! I've successfully repaired about a dozen discs to date. It doesn't just clean, it actually DOES remove scratches. Do yourself a favor and get the motorized version though. And I'm not sure how one could mess it up, exactly. You just spay the disk well with solution and pop it into the machine. Even itsbob could handle that!

neverdull or brasso......takes the scratches right out 
Try the stuff at the top of this link. Not only removes scratches but makes new CD's sound better. The stuff was developed by the same guy who designed the F-16 fighter jet.

"Under a microscope the surface is rough—the hills and valleys bend the laser beam reading the music data. When the beam is bent, each data bit is read too early or too late. That’s jitter. Jitter causes harsh, muddy sound. The solution is to flatten that roughness using our Mikro-Smooth’s sub-microscopic ceramic polishing particles (two ten-millionths of an inch, far finer than silver or auto polish)."
It's digital.. which means the laser is reading 1's and 0's, there are no 0.3 or 1.5 it's either a ONE or a ZERO No matter how shiny the surface of the disc is, if it's reading 10010010110101001 it's going to sound the same if you shine it a thousand times over or never shine it.
Reading a data bit too early or too late.. that's why storage devices all have cache... nothing goes directly from the CD to the speakers.

Of coarse you're right that 1 guy didn't design the entire jet but I didn't want to post the guy's Bio. Anyway, below is a link to his Bio.
His name is Pierre Sprey. In the mid 80’s, I met him at his tobacco plantation that he turned into a recording studio up in Upper Marlboro. The History Channel has a couple of shows they air from time to time about the development of the A-10 and F-16. Sprey is interviewed extensively in both those shows. Take a drive up to visit his studio in Upper Marlboro some time. He’ll give tours if you call him and arrange. It’s quite a unique experience. His restored 1911 Steinway Grand Piano is pretty cool.

Toothpaste does it
It is a mild abrasive, so use some water and a soft tissue, with a little toothpaste on it. Scrub, clean with a clean tissue at the end.
