2.0 out of 5 stars Too expensive, not effective, February 3, 2003

It sounds nice to pay... for an item that could save hundreds in replacement costs. One problem, it does not really work that well and it is a pain to use.

It will clean. It might fix some scratches, but clearly not all of them.

Also, you hand will get tired while using it because the mechanism runs slooooowly.

This product is great for cleaning up minor scratches on CD's. It will not repair gouges or huge scratches you can see across the room. It is designed so that it takes very little plastic off the surface in order to allow multiple repairs to the disk. It is slow because it has to run over the CD scratch many times to polish the scratch out. Also you don't have to polish the entire CD back and forth just the badly scratched parts. When used per the directions it makes skipping CD's play smoothly again.
