Should i get this disc resurfaced?

Just got sonic adventure 2 from ebay, listing marked as “tested” (sry for bad pic it was rly hard to take on with all scratches visible)

Game does not work, i tried cleaning it with a damp microfiber cloth and that barely helped, the game gets about 5 seconds into the opening cutscene then gives me the “this disc could not be read” error message.

I have a local game store that can resurface the disc but i was hoping theres a way i can clean it properly so i dont have to pay to fix it.

I got a pretty decent deal on this game so i would rather try to fix it if i can instead of returning it.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
