Scratched dvd/game? Toothpaste :D

Never lend your games out to people from work. A lad from work just got an xbox so being nice I lent him my copy of virtual fighter 5 (only had a quick game before lending it to him). He's just given it back saying it didn't work..... its not surprising as his xbox has scratched the hell out of it

I managed to find this:-

Now I am rather sceptical but after one go of 5 mins, the disc looks a whole lot better and now runs in the xbox! I'll give it another go in the morning to really kill the scratches off but I am impressed

Anyone else done this in the past?

edit:- can a mod fix my spelling mistake in the title, typing on the laptop
