Many users don't understand how disc cleaning works - Reviewed on 2008-10-16

This is a great product, the only bad reviews it should have is if it is missing accessories or the motor breaks. Anything but that, I have a few things to clarify here.
1) This product, like many others, will only repair light scratches. If the scratch goes on deeper than the polycarbonate layer on the disc or is on the top side of the disk (aka If light can shine through it), then it's pretty much FUBAR and you would have to throw it away because the data is permanently corrupted. Always remember to put your discs back into their cases. That's what cases were designed for.
2) Use the yellow pad for tiny scratches and the pink pad for the much bigger ones and don't forget to always use the blue buffer pad afterwards. People will just run their disc through once and expect it working like magic. Nothing's that easy. Also, don't forget to wipe any dust or dirt off of the disc before you put it in the machine. The particles will be rubbed against the outer protective layer, making it worse.
3) People who've posted reviews have complained about their discs having more scratches, in a round radial pattern. This is what it is supposed to do! The radial pattern scratch helps the laser bypass the previous scratches on the disc itself and does not affect the disc at all. If you don't believe me, google up a website on CD Technology and read for yourself.
4) This doesn't technically remove the scratches 100%, it just makes them readable. It's not guaranteed to completely remove every scratch but it will still play. If you're that obsessive-compulsive and want every scratch off of it, then go and fork out $500 for an industrial CD buffer and then go seek therapy.
I've used this product many times (The correct way) and it has always worked for me for my DVDs and Xbox 360 games except a couple of gouged discs that were a result of a major accident. I advise against using it for microdiscs or Gamecube games.
