Help! I need help fixing a scratched PS2 game

I have a game Smackdown Vs Raw that is scratched. It freezes when trying to load during gameplay. The music also is blanked out at times. I need help fixing the scratches. HELP!

Places like Game Crazy first use windex, then Armor-all car protectant on the discs on the non-label side.

If that doesn't work, blind read it with a program like Alcohol 120% setting the number of read attempts high and read speed to low.

Many video hire stores also have disc re-surfacing / polishing machines that can make it like brand new again. Unless it's on the label side, then as loy said you're in trouble.

Go down to wal-mart and buy one of those hand powed 'disc repair kits' which I have used and they seem to work good.
