Rep Power: 34   |  CD/DVD repair kit I really, REALLY wish I'd looked harder because this: CD/DVD Repair Kit ... is truly awful... It had an inconsistent pressure across the disk and just scratched the first one I tried to hell... Net result the disk is now worse. It's going back for a refund and I'm plumping for one of these instead. SkipDr Premier: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo I should note that phoning Gizoo wasn't difficult and they're accepting a return so, so far, there's no problem with the company but that original product... Total waste of money and time. |

Rep Power: 15 | wiki How to Fix a Scratched CD - wikiHow Short of that as per the above article take it to a game or music store ie hmv or game and they should have an optical disc refinishing machine which will do a better job of it  |

Rep Power: 8 | I'm no longer allowed access to the original CD/DVDs for more than it takes to copy. It's not that I damaged them, well, not just this, but I also manage to mislay them too. So my boss introduced a system of only giving me copies. I've also gotten to the stage of making ISOs of the original so I don't have to go and ask each time. Scratched disks go in the bin. |

Rep Power: 4 | Disks damaged I sent 10 disks to this lot and had a protective plastic coating as well for £9.99 no charge if they can fix them. Better than DIY solutions I had tried before. Very quick turn round also. CD Fixer | Professional CD DVD Scratch Repair | Pricing |

Rep Power: 24 | Must admit I am tempted to get something like that JML one as Ive got a few disks that are now scratched and scuffed from my bad handling and storage of them. |
