Is it working? – Honestly whenever I use this product I’m never quite sure if it’s actually doing anything. So it looks like it’s removing surface scratches but I’m usually having some sort of skipping issue this is not addressing. I’m gonna keep it around I’m glad I have it just to eliminate that from being part of the consideration. But sometimes it’s the device reading the disk and not the disk itself.

Works on some but not all games – I had a pretty good experience using this to bring my old PS2 games back to life. It works on most of the games I have that are light-to-mildly scratched that sometimes have trouble starting. For the games that are heavily scratched I have to do 3-5 rounds of treatment before it can play and even then its not a permanent fix for heavily scratched disks, just enough for the console to play the game.

Works, but FlexWheel didn’t last – I purchased this to clean up scratched CDs and DVDs. It works, but they don’t provide much fluid and the FlexiWheel didn’t last to repair 25 discs. The replacement FlexiWheel is about $12 so it gets expensive to use this system. I’m going to try what other reviewers have suggested and use more fluid when buffing to see if I can get the FlexiWheel to last longer. I’m also going to use a power supply rather than batteries – maybe too much drag on the FlexiWheel if the power is too low. To its credit, the gadget has repaired every DVD/CD I’ve tried, even one that I thought there was no possibility that it would ever work again. All of my repaired discs came out with a radial pattern on them, but they all worked perfectly. I can live with the radial pattern if the discs work well! The unit is not for use with Blu-rays, so I haven’t tried one in it.

Somewhat effective – Mixed results, but worked on most of the damaged discs that I tried.

It Works – The first thing I would say is read the directions and follow them. When I received the SkipDr. I glanced over the directions and started using it. After completing 3 cd’s I played them and they were not fixed. I was so disappointed but decided I probably did something wrong. I read all of the directions and realized that I was the problem so I did them over following the directions and Wow what a difference it made. Most of my cd’s are playing like new and even the severely damaged ones are much improved and I plan to do them over several more times to get them better. Great product! So glad I purchased.

Works well if used a certain way, not exactly as the directions say…. – I started with the hand cranked version as it was cheaper and I was skeptical after reading all of the reviews. I figured if it could help even just 3-4 movies that would have otherwise needed to just be replaced then it was worth it, it worked great after I got the hang of how to use it and I deviated from the directions a little. I decided to invest in this one as we have a couple hundred, more or less, kids movies. This one is even better because I am hands free so it can keep going while I spray it to keep it wet. The wetter the better! Thats where I deviated from the directions, they say to “spray lightly then let it make 2 evolutions around then take it out and wipe then buff” I started by experimenting on a couple of disks that I knew were not fixable because the backs of the disks were scratched as bad as the front. I don’t like how little spray they include but any spray made for cleaning eyeglasses (the kind thats safe for plastic lens’) works just as well. If it gets even a little dry it will make the disk hazy with the sanding, if it’s kept really wet it works great! I spray heavily before starting then keep spraying the top as it comes around to go down again. I do not wait for it to make 2 evolutions before spraying again, I usually let it go around 3-4x this way depending on how scratched it is. Then I clean and buff as it says and if it needs more I do it again. Whatever you do don’t be frugal with the spray! Better to use more than needed than not enough. To finish up after everything I buff it with an extremely small amount of liquid wax. Only a drop on the cloth for the whole disk (That step isn’t necessary, I just like it personally). I did go ahead and invest in a power cord as I have no interest in keeping up with batteries. They have them on amazon for $5-8 or so. Definitely worth picking up if you plan on using this a lot as I do. I moved the wheel and stuff from my other SkipDr to this one to save the new one for extra. No, this isn’t something you can use if you want to be able to sell disks as it does leave faint markings but its great for personal use especially if you have kids that are just now getting old enough to understand proper disk care. I have improved everything I have used this on that was salvageable. Most of them run smooth all the way through now. A small number still skip or freeze in a place or 2 for a second or so then keep going. Those were the disks that used to either just get stuck and stay frozen or had to be jumped way ahead to keep them going before. So they are still greatly improved! Both of these things have already paid for themselves 2-3x over at this point! For us, for our kids movies, this was most definitely worth it! The wheels also last longer than they are said to last if you keep the disk really wet and take the wheel off and gently rinse it off every once in a while I have noticed. I have used it on 36 movies so far and am still using the wheel from the first hand cranked SkipDr on this model. I haven’t used it on anything but the kids DVDs so I can’t say how well it does for games or bluray or anything as those items have always been off limits to the kids handling so they are all in great condition. They do watch the DVDs in the bluray player though and it has no issues reading them.

It works on most surface scratches but it’s not cure-all for damaged discs. – This removed surface scratches from most of the 10 ‘thrift store’ CDs I tried it on and it restored skip-free playability to all but 2 of them. Depending on how badly the disc is scratched it may take a couple of attempts to get all the scratches out. Please note that this device does leave visible marks on the disc’s surface but those marks do not affect playback because they are perpendicular to the laser reading the disc. But if those marks bother you can also follow up with a finer liquid plastic polish to reduce visibility of those marks. Just don’t do that until you’re sure you’ve got all the skips out or you’ll just have to do the final polish again..
