Customer Review: It works...you just have to know how to use it
Summary: 4 Stars
I have repaired hundreds of discs using this product. I owned a prior model in 2001. That one was similar to an Alterac product, in that one of the repair pads was really a plastic disc that you put the cleaning solution inside and it had 2 small pads that floated on springs...and back then it didn't come with an AC Adapter. No biggie..I just used a universal ac adapter. When that unit died I bought this model. That one just fried after 6 years of use. I use it mainly for rented DVD's, especially children's ones..the most scratched. If it isn't a new release from Netflix, you can count on the DVD being scratched at least 80% of the time. I hate having to drive all the way back to the store and go through the hassle of exchanging the disc or with Netflix waiting 2 days or more. Besides most only have one copy of older movies, so the only way to watch the movie is to repair it. They did change their cleaning solution. All cleaning solutions are made from 50% Distilled Water and 50% 99.9% pure Rubbing Alcohol. I suspect that Memorex is using a lower grade alcohol, not 99.9% pure, or the distilled water has some impurities. Anyways, you can make your own. There are a couple of things you can do to make sure that it doesn't leave any marks or film. First remove the disc immediately after cleaning cycle is done and take an opticloth or a clean cotton cloth and wipe the disc dry. I use a CD Case. I flip the disc so that it is label side down and place it on the center button. Then wipe from the center in a straight line out to the outer edge. Then rotate the disc slightly and repeat until entire disc is wiped. The second tip is after a repair cycle, follow the above wiping instructions to remove most of the repair solution, then follow the cleaning instructions. Remember your fixing a disc that already has a scratch or poor playability. Not every disc can be repaired. The most cleaning and repair procedures I have done to fix an extremely scratched disc is 7, but I really needed that disc to be repaired. I have found though, that if the disc isn't repaired after four repair and cleaning procedures, it is beyond the ability of this product. If you do find a haze on a disc after cleaning, just wipe from center out as described above, with a cloth that has a light amount of rubbing alcohol on it. If you want a real disc repair system then I suggest that you look into a commercial Alterac ($376.99 on Amazon). One other tip is to remember that just because the disc has light swirl scratches or a light haze, or just looks unplayable, the look of the bottom of the disc is not always an indicator of it's playability. Playing the disc all the through is the only real test of playability. Some discs that look bad actually play without skips because your DVD/CD player has a correction algorithm that samples the data multiple times and then outputs an average of these samplings. mutiple times per second. Be very carefull when putting the pads in the unit, they only need to be lightly turned a little bit..using any real force will break the plastic tabs used to hold the pad on. It will still work as long as you have at least one plastic tab left. Anyways the pads usually work themselves loose when you use it. Often times when you remove the disc one or both pads will be stuck to the disc anyways. Just pull them off and continue. My last comment is that if you have a heavily scratched disc, you can use more repair solution and cleaning solution then the Memorex recomends.
