Any of you guys tried this?
I just bought it, and the results are amazing. A couple of CDs I haven't been able to play for ages suddenly play like never before. Gone are the scratches and the thick grease. Everything works perfectly again.

is that the thing that grinds it down the machine thing?

Sort of a grinding thing, yes. Probably not the thing you would want to do with CDs that work

thick grease?

It get this when I use CDs to shovel the bacon grease off my TV remote. Can be a real problem. Thanks Geir for useful tip.

me and my cousin used to use an industrial buffer and t-cut at my grandads sawmill to sort out all the cds that got mangled getting thrown into the back of his corsa about 10 years ago, always wondered if anyone else haid the same idea

Well, people have actually tried putting CDs on a road with lots of gravel on it and running over the CD with a car, and they have managed to play that CD after using Disc Repair Pro on it.
So seriously, if you have CDs you cannot play without scratches, here's an invention that works.

Now, that would be the next thing to invent :)

Still awaiting grease explanation, Geiry.

This is exactly like polishing swirls and scratches on a car.

I.e. it works by abrasively removing part of the top layer, but if you do it too much you may get down to the metal.
...except that the paint on a car is relatively thin. In the case of a CD, 99% of it is the acrylic (or whatever) base. Damage to the top layer is practically impossible to fix.

Actually, there are a bunch of layers in a CD, but the topmost layers are just about a cling-wrap topping to the rest.

ooh swirls!
