Creates new scratches, didn't fix the old ones

2006-09-08
I bought this repair kit so I could watch a rental movie. It had quite a few scratches and was skipping during the early parts. After I was done, I had even more scratches and the movie skipped in the exact spot it did before.

Just awful

2006-03-13
After reading the reviews on here I was hesitant to use the product I had just purchased. But I figured what could I lose - it was already skipping and if this didn't work, I'd just buy a new copy.

Well I'm here to tell you that if you plan to use this on anything important, forget it. The CD was left with more scratches than before (the "protective" pad actually MAKES scratches WORSE than a paper towel...) and it's just a horrible product. I followed the directions to a T. Thanks Maxell for wasting my money and my time.

This won't fix the Cd's, it will ruin them

This kit is absolutely horrible.

First off, the scratch-free cloths it comes with aren't scratch-free at all. They totally scratch the CD.

The "Step 1: Scratch Removal" is not scratch removal at all. It is supposed to sit for 5 minutes, then you wipe it. I let it sit overnite once and the scratch was still there.

After you apply that junk, the instructions say to apply "Step 2: Cleaner,Polisher, and Sealer". This stuff is practically water. It doesn't work AT ALL.

After you do that the CD should be like new. I don't think so!

The holder that you put the CD on while you're cleaning it is too flimsy.

The only good thing that I use the "Scratch Remover" for is small scratches on my digital camera, cell phone, PSP, and other electronics.

Do not buy this unless you like ruining CD's.

Last Word:
I hate Maxell.

I Want My Money Back and A New CD

This junk absolutley ruined an otherwise mildy scratched CD. Avoid at all costs unless you want to completely destroy a CD. What was in that bottle, toilet cleaner?

Not disappointed

This product repaired a completely useless, out-of-print CD-ROM that I desperately needed. It was worth the price just for that. I was also able to repair a favorite music CD. I'm now tapping my foot to "I Can't Wait."

I did have to do it twice. The second time, I let it dry for much longer than the instructions say. It was nearly dry by the time I wiped the paste off. When I do this, the results are much better.

DO NOT BUY THIS CRAP!!!! IT WILL NOT WORK!! 2008-07-09
This CRAP should be pulled from the shelves and a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT should be brought against the Maxell company for selling it to the public. Everything they claim this product will do is wrong (false advertising). It actually makes your CD worse than it was before. If you are a lwayer eading this and are by some chance filing a suit against Maxell PLEEEEEASE get in touch with me. How can companies falsly sell crap like this and get away with it. Maxell SUCKS and I hope they go under!

Works great for me. 2007-12-27
Been using this stuff for a couple years. Works great for me. I use it different than the instruction. Find a flat surface, lay a bundle of tissue on it, place the disk scratched face up. Place a couple drops of #1 abrasive on the disk and immediately start wiping with some pressure radially outward (you don't have to wait 5 minutes). Keep working your way around the disk until the solution is dry (about 5 minutes). Spray once with #2, and using a clean TISSUE, continue wiping VERY GENTLY radially outward until #2 dries. Try the disk. If it doesn't work, repeat all the above until it does. This really does work, but it can take some elbow grease and repeated tries depending on the severity of the scratches. I've had a LOT of scratched disks, and I haven't found one yet that I couldn't fix with this.

great product!!!!!! 2007-01-09
i saved hundreds of dollars on all my scratched cd's by using this product!!!

Horrid product 2007-01-02
How can they get away with selling this stuff? First and foremost: IT DOES NOT WORK. Secondly, it can make your disc WORSE.

Look elsewhere - do NOT buy this junk.

sucks 2006-12-22
DON'T BUY THIS ITEM!! It doesn't fix anything at all. I followed the directions exactly. Did nothin what so ever to fix the scratches. The only thing that one might be able to use is the blue stuff in the 2 bottle. That can be used to wipe smudges off of cds. Besides that, AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!
