Toothpaste cleaning Cd's?

I have been playing Final Fantasy X-2 and in the begining of the game where the high graphics are my cd would skip and freeze, I fixed that by blowing on the cd and inside my ps2 it worked fine and I got through the scenes. Now I am having trouble with another one (Viewing the sphere at the end of chapter 1 where he tries to rescue lenne with vegnagun or whatever) The screen goes black and the first subtitle appears saying ????: You know your the only one who can save Lenne. or whatever. It just stays like that forever. I used a damp q-tip and cleaned the inside of my Ps2 (The part where you put the cd in) it didnt work, so i thought it may be my Cd there are some scratches but not many on it. Every other part works fine except for the high graffic parts. Ive heard that toothpaste can take out scratches but I dont know how much to apply where to apply it ect. Can someone help? I also need to know If Im susposed to wash the toothpaste off afterwards or not. Thanks!

I don%26#039;t recommend using toothpaste, it can damage your PS2. If I were you, I%26#039;d take the disc to your local game rental place and have them buff the scratches out. It usually costs about $5, and will fix it perfectly.
