Depends on how deep the scratch is. I would use some car polish and polish from the inside of the disc out and try to clean.

I've used tooth paste and a soft cloth with good results. If it's a burned disc vs. pressed, you may be SOL. Burned discs are a lot more fragile than pressed.

Yep, Alan from Axiom has told us many times that you can use car polish/wax. Try searching for "scratched cds" or "scratched dvd".
