Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

So I read all the reviews on here before buying this and it seemed like this DVD fixing device is working for a lot of people. I looked at the negative reviews pretty closely and after using this thing I think either they didn't follow the instructions or the disc probably wasn't fixable anyway. So here's my experience and my tips after trying to repair 5 discs. #1 - Be realistic I bought this specifically to fix a couple of XBOX 360 games and DVD's that weren't working properly. All of the discs had scratches but one was really bad and I figured that I couldn't repair that one. Out of the 5 discs I tried to repair - I was able to get 3 working perfectly again, 1 works better, and the 1 really bad disc I couldn't repair which wasn't a surprise as it was really scracthed up.. The big WINS - My old XBOX 360 NCAA football is still a favorite of mine since they don't make a new version for the XBOX ONE and it would work until midway through a game and then freeze. After running it through the SkipDr it now lets me play normally and I can do a season and everything. The other important one was a DVD that isn't made anymore and is rare - it was skipping a whole scene and now it's playing again. # 2 - Follow the steps Use the fluid - the wheel is resurfacing the disc - it needs lubrication otherwise it's like applying straight sandpaper to a disc. The wheel turns the disc really slow so it may not look like it's turning but it is. BUFF BUFF BUFF - when you get done in the machine you need to buff with the little white sqaure really really well. I found on two of the discs that they weren't fixed UNTIL I went back and buffed them a second time really well. # 3 - It leaves lines on your disc but they are supposed to be there A bunch of people in the negatives reviews say that the things ruined their discs. Seriously, how can something ruin your non-playing, scratched up disc? The first time I used it I was a little worried because it leaves lines on the discs, but even with the lines the discs were fixed. The lines are there permanently though so if you're looking for a perfect finish like new, this isn't going to do that. However it does work and the lines aren't an issue - it even says so in their instruction video. So no, it didn't ruin your disc, it's trying to resurface it, like getting your car brake rotors resurfaced. Also a lot of people said - didn't clean my disc...it's not a cleaner, it's resurfacing your DVD. #4 - Run the disc through multiple times if it doesn't work the first time One of my discs wasn't fixed the 1st time but I ran it through 2 full revolutions and then buffed again and it started working. So if it doesn't work the first time try a couple of more times. So was it worth the price to fix 4 out of my 5 discs? You bet it is! Even if it had only fixed one it would have been worth it. I know it isn't going to work for everyone or on every disc but for the price it's worth a shot.
