 Does exactly what the name implies December 23, 2007
I've been using the SkipDoctor products since they were first released. Some CDs are simply too far gone, but the majority of discs can be repaired to a readable state (assuming your player isn't overly sensitive). The biggest problem with the manual product is that it takes quite a while to rotate the disc through the course of the polishing. Your arm will get tired, but the result is usually worth it. I wouldn't use it on a disc that doesn't have any problems, but if you're trying to salvage something (or at least buy yourself enough time to rip or copy it), this product is a great last-ditch effort.
 This product will RUIN your discs! November 18, 2007

I used this product, and, yes, I followed the directions. The first step of sanding down the disc left a thin white residue and a lot of tiny scratches on the disc. The second step has you buffing the tiny scratches out. Most of the scratches seem to disappear when you look at it, but once you put it in your DVD player, the laser won't read it. I tried buffing it VERY smooth, and also cleaning my DVD lens. Still didn't work. I have to send my DVD to skippydisk to repair the damage done by this product.
If you look at the reviews, there is about a 50/50 chance that you will get it to work. Is this any kind of indicator as to what kind of company this is? I think so. Too bad I was in the half that couldn't get it to work...
Not want you expect, read on... November 17, 2007
The following item does not do exactly what you expect it to. Upon purchasing it, most people seem to think that it buffers out scratches and makes the whole disk look clean on the back, that is not the case. How it works, I suppose, can be explained by this example.
If you have a dollar bill that has some damage to it, you may find it hard to get the vending machine to take it. A trick some people know is that if you take a dollar bill, crinkle it up, then straiten it back out on the edge of the machine, sometimes you can get the machine to accept it.
This device works like that, it ends up "streaking" your disk with very obvious lines, but in the end, diminishes the severity of some of the other scratches. Sometimes it works, some times it doesn't. It depends on two things, the severity of the scratches and the quality of your dvd player, all being said, you need a pretty nice dvd player in order for any disk that has this used on it to be read.
I had one of these and used it for years, it saved a few of my cds/dvds, but thats about all I can say with respect to it.

doesn't work flawlessly, but it's saved multiple discs from the trash, but at that point what do you have to lose

This piece of junk should not even be able to be sold!It's a total misrepresentation of a product.I would of rated it a -5 but all you can choose from is + numbers.You might as well use a piece of sandpaper,it would do the same kind of quality of destruction this piece of junk will do!Please don't waste your money on this product unless you just have money to burn.It should be pulled off the shelves and should'nt be sold anywhere,total rip-off!!!!
