Yes you got that from the guide didn't you?

Toothpaste may (or mar not) be an abrasive, but some CD repairers work by levelling out the scratch with more, tiny, scratches, so maybe it is the abrasive quality of toothpaste (if it exists) that does the work.

This reminds me; a while ago my parents bought a whole heap of Colgate toothpaste (we always use Colgate) from some wierd store. Sometimes we have gotten toothpaste from Indian shops, and it was labelled for Fiji, but it is the exact same stuff as the Australian packs. This lot of toothpaste was labelled for South Africa/America (I can't remember). Anyway it was really wierd, and had a powdery texture, like those "just add water" things, so maybe it is this kind of toothpaste that is abrasive. I wonder which kind fixes scratches, the powdery stuff or the smooth stuff.
