I tried every DVD repair technique and they still won’t work! The movies I own that are messed up are The Mummy, Godzilla 2000, The Thing and Bruce Almighty. Please let me know if you have any suggestions on what I should do. Thank you

The risky thing here is you can polish too much of the plastic away in one spot and unbalance the disk. Unbalanced disks can shatter in a drive.

LOOK UP THE WORD SHURIKIN IN THE WIKIPEDIA ON LINE ENCYCLOPEDAI. THE STAR SHAPED FORMS OF SHURIKINS ARE ONLY ONE OF TWO BASIC FORMS. THE STAR SHAPED ONES ARE CALLED “SHAKENS” SEE QUOTE FROM WIKIPEDIA.
A TERM THAT MEANS The major varieties of Shuriken are the Bō Shuriken (棒手裏剣, Stick Shuriken) and the Hira Shuriken (平手裏剣, Flat Shuriken), or Shaken (車剣, also read as Kurumaken, Wheel Shuriken).

Spray it on, wipe the disk so only a thin film remains, and often it will fill in the scratches enough to enable you to peel the data off.

I did it with a scratched up COD4 disk and it started working perfectly.
