    It's still only going to last a couple years until you'll have to wet sand and reapply.

    lol! Polish doesn't work that way, it's the abrasives that remove the scratches not the chemicals in it. Toothpaste is an abrasive, you put it on with a microfiber or applicator pad in a circular motion then wipe it off with a clean microfiber. You can remove scratches on CD's with toothpaste like that.
