Review: Good arm workout - The Reason: I bought this thing because I accidentally left my copy of Borderlands for PC outside for a long time, and dust accumulated on the DVD. I washed off the dust, which came off easily. No biggie I said. I popped it in and I noticed it was taking forever to read the disc. Tried installing the game, but it said it would take 130+ minutes. Preposterous! I shouted, while cancelling the installation and removing the DVD out for a closer inspection. Needless to say, and this is something I've observed before in the past, there was this very thin layer of dust(?) still left on the disc. I scrubbed and scrubbed, but it just wouldn't come off. I tried a solvent (rubbing alcohol) and that did not work. Tried dish washer soap, cider vinegar, a lemon... I even lost it at one point and just rubbed the disc as hard as I could against my knee - nothing was removing this very fine layer of HELL. So I finally decided to purchase one of these things, since I first thought about buying one back in like, early 2000? Irrelevant anyways. Well, got it in 2 days, and as soon as it arrived, I put it to work. ============================================== The Good: Simply remove the product out of the box, attach the handle (can be a bit tricky - just keep trying or read the manual), grabbed the disc in concern, sprayed some of the liquid on, and inserted it into the contraption. Whether I was supposed to leave the liquid on or not, I did not care, nor did it matter. That thing worked like a charm. At first I thought the disc was not spinning - it does, just very slowly, so keep on cranking. Also, be sure to insert the disc with the label facing down! There is a towel inside the handle too. The thing is very easy and safe to use. I had fun. ============================================== The Bad: The only thing I did not like about this product was the handle. It is just too, cumbersome. Very uncomfortable to hold. Again, be sure to place the label of the disc pointing DOWN, otherwise you will literally polish the data off the disc. The handle was a tad tricky to install at first, but I blame that on the fact that I wasn't really looking at it. You have to crank this thing for quite a bit in order to get a good result. Applying more pressure or spinning it as hard as possible is not going to help, so nice and steady wins. I had to go over my disc at least 3 times, so I did quite a lot of turning. ============================================== The Verdict: It works good. It fixed my problem. I have not tried it with a severely scratched disc yet, as I am usually very gentle with my belongings. This product is not magical, so it will not repair a disc if the data side is scratched, or if the scratches underneath are too deep. Worth the money in my humble opinion. ============================================== Additional: Needs more bacon.
Review: Added brand-new gouges to the very first CD - Every once in a while you purchase a product that delivers a completely different experience than what the reviews led you to expect. In some cases it seems that manufacturers cut more and more corners throughout a product's lifespan until that product is completely different than the one that got glowing reviews. Case in point, the SkipDr Disc Repair System. I know because I had one of the first models many years ago. I know that it was a different design back then; instead of a fold-out disc guide, there was a larger plastic wedge that supported the disc. So far, so good; the newer design is more compact when not in use. But I'm nearly positive that the plastic didn't feel as flimsy as this new black one. I remember being impressed with every aspect of the original even down to the wordy instruction booklet (now you get a double-sided piece of paper). None of that would have bothered me had the product not failed on the very first use. But it did, and I'm convinced that Digital Innovations has done whatever possible to make this a cheaper product. I actually think the retail price is less than the original was 10+ years ago. This is puzzling because there's plenty of room price-wise between this and more heavy-duty CD repair machines. And the SkipDr costs about as much as having three CDs repaired by a professional. So what went wrong? On my very first CD repair, I followed the directions to the letter. Spray the CD, then run it through two full rotations of cranking. I repeated the process again (including the spray) because the worst scratch was still visible. On the second rotation of the second repair cycle, the grinder wheel started warping out of shape and eventually slipped sideways. When this happened it left a deep ugly gouge in the CD. Thankfully this was a test on a CD from a garage sale, because although it had tons of scratches beforehand, it now has the flipping Panama Canal running through it. I'm sure it's unplayable now. It's really too bad because the SkipDr is a great idea. When it works, the CD looks like a mess but usually plays much better. And it's simpler and less messy than the products that try to fill scratches in. Unfortunately this once useful product has officially become a bona fide Piece of Junk. Chris gives the SkipDr one star.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: where are the instructions**
A: Instructions should have been on a 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" paper with unit.  Here's a three step:  1. Spray - SkipDr rejuvenating fluid lightly onto the play-side of the disc (do not spray on the label side).   2.  Repair - the disc by inserting it into the SkipDr disc repair system with the play side toward the FlexiWheel.  Turn the crank handle clockwise until the disc completes two full rotations.  The disc will move at a much slower rate than the crank handle.  Repeat as necessary.   DRY + Shine - Dry the play side on the disc with the blue drying cloth.  Then place the disc on top of the drying cloth and buff unit the white buffing square.  NOTE:  Thorough buffing is 'crucial' for perfect playback.  It is normal for a slight, Harmless radial pattern to remain on the disc after buffing.  Repeat step as necessary.  Supposedly the Flexiwheel will repair up to 25 discs.NOTE:  Keep discs wet during the resurfacing process.  If the disc doesn't completely repair, keep trying until there's no improvement.  I had one disc that took six attempts.  Most of the others I have worked on usually take 2 tries.  A few only one.  So far I haven't had any that I couldn't repair.  Just takes time.  Also, keep the buffing pad and drying cloth clean - i.e. no grit.   Good luck.

**Q: dose this work for mini dvds?   aka gamecube games**
A: This does not. However I placed a pen in the hole of the gamecube game to hold it in pace and with struggle got a game to work again. Works best with full size dvd/cd.

**Q: Does this work for Videogame CD's such as Xbox360,Ps2 etc.?**
A: yes, we used it on games and movies

**Q: Does this work on ps4 games or PS3 and does this come with cleaning spray please respond asap**
A: The cleaning spray is not a cleaning spray. It is a filler chemical that fills in and smooths cracks.

If you are looking for just a cleaner, don't get this item.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well on even badly damaged disk
*by A***A on April 15, 2025*

Worked great for me. I have a DVD, one in a set of 41 disks, that's from a TV series that was on for 10 years. I inherited the set from a friend of 40+ years. We used to watch the program pretty much every time I visited. This one DVD in the set would not load in any of the three DVD players I tried it in. Other DVDs in the set have some skips but each can be played in one or another of the three DVD players. High sentimental value. I really wanted this DVD to play too. And replacing one DVD in a 41 DVD set would likely be difficult to impossible. I tried many different methods I found online. None worked. So I decided to try this. Bought this, tired it. Followed instructions and the DVD still wasn't playable. However the instructions did say a disk can be repaired many times. So I repeated the repair process. Still would not play. Kept on trying. After the 8th repair attempt the disk was playable with NO SKIPS. Loading the menu when the disk is loaded is the only time it hesitates at all. Once loaded, going back to the menu doesn't result in any skips. Very pleased this disk was rescued. Had to perform the repair 8x before it was successful but it fixed a disk that obviously must have been very badly damaged.
