IF YOUR HOUSE is full In the past I have tried everything from Windex and my T-shirt to taking them to my local Blockbuster store for a run through their cleaning machine. I've also used various disc restoring machines that involve hand-cranking and various sprays. The ones I liked of that ilk were from SkipDr, but I often lost various parts of the machine in between uses. Now SkipDr has come up with a great version. The SkipDr Premier Disc Repair System, from Digital Innovations, is frankly a great idea as long as you understand what you're buying and what you're doing. (It's not a toy for the kids.) This model plugs into the wall (and now has an included AC adapter) or runs on batteries and sits waiting for use, so all you really need to repair a disc is to spray the underside of the CD and insert it in the machine. After about a minute of spinning you're left with a disc with some radial marks on the underside. You then use the included cloths to buff them out as best you can. But keep in mind the machine is not a disc cleaner for fingerprints or grease. It is designed to repair discs that are scratched or damaged and it does that by mild abrasion. Some users have been quite annoyed to find the radial marks after the process is complete because they expected a shiny gleaming disc when the machine turns off. You do not use this machine for casual cleaning. You whip this out when discs are skipping or won't play any more. (Then my advice is, fix them with the SkipDr and immediately make a backup copy so you have that on hand when your kids scratch it again.)
1. Be respectful. No personal attacks.
