Supposedly. However, I just threw away a brand new cd that Novus 7100 #2 scratched up. The only reason I tried to use this was that the deck in my car caused a several abrasive marks on the cd. I used the product as stated. Shake very well and test on small patch. Seemed to do okay so I proceeded. I used a brand new, clean microfiber cloth. I noticed as I was polishing/buffing the surface with the #2 liquid, micro swirls were created. Fortunately, I ripped the disc to my computer prior to trying this, so now I'm burning a new MAM-R Gold Archival CD which hopefully my rip was good. So if you are determined to use this stuff, make a clean copy off the disc you are going to clean. Supposedly. However, I just threw away a brand new cd that Novus 7100 #2 scratched up.

I've used it successfully on scratched CDs and CVDs. It can remove relatively light scuffs but there is some limit- it seems that really ugly scratches can't be fixed. I've tried using 1200 grit wet/dry sandpaper on these, followed by the Novus. It works but you have maybe a 25% success rate.

Hello If the scratches are light, it will certainly remove them. Just be careful with the polishing mediums you use.

No. Piece of crap. Dont waste your money. Have a nice meal instead and look for something more sturdy and easier to remove one CD without dropping 4.

it is easy to remove however my CD player is broken so I just leave mine in. the plastic that insert your c_d diSk is not very long I don't see how it could damage. it doesnt even register that in there c_d player does not runner or anything like that

Absolutely! It does a very professional job. Your CDs and DVDs will look like they were professionally printed.

I do not believe there is any timeframe for the length of time that this item can be effective I've had mine for over 5 years and it works like new, as far as I know it can be used on all cds & dvds.

I tend to agree with previous answer from Stu. What you could try with a household item, is alcohol. Other than that buy a disc cleaner. If you have many discs, it will not be a waste of money. Good luck with everything. If anythingthing actually worked, post it just to let us know. I have over a hundred CD's and information is good to have.

I don't think so; it is more a tiny vacuum cleaner, good for picking up crumbs, dust, and other small particles. It probably would be better to go with another way to clean CDs. The internet has many suggestions.

I have used this with our on-line business and have had great success. I have been able to repair discs that are badly damaged. There are some deep scratches however that I have not been able to remove, so it depends on how deep.

It can buff out scratches on any type of disk. It has saved me a ton of money because I can repair instead of replace. I have used it on game cube, wii, dvd, and cds

I have used it on my laptop and it took out all the minor scratches. There was one major scratch that is barley visable now. Works great on a lot of other hard plastics. If the scratches are not that deep is suggest using 3M scratch remover. It might work better for what you are wanting.

You can mark the tracks, then the tracks for the second cd select them and remove them. Once you have burned the first cd, undo the tracks you removed and now remove the track that have already been burned - leaving the tracks for the second cd

It will not remove scratches. If a DVD is lightly scratched, it seems to clean it enough to play. However, if the scratches are bad, it doesn't help.

It does damage the CD drive. It damaged mine's, and I drive a standard Honda Civic. Made my dashboard all warped looking. Avoid.

I have used it with several products and it is safe. However, as far as removing scratches I don't see any improvement. I would not buy this product again.

I have used this on CDs and Wii games with pretty significant scratches. I have had 50/50 luck with them, when I've literally let it run for 20-30 minutes while sitting next to it and spraying the disc to keep it wet. If you're using an adapter for power and don't mind babysitting it, it's worth it to me. As to how long it will last... if you're meaning how long the device itself lasts, I had mine for 2 years before the plastic cogs that turn the disc wore down too much to spin anymore, and that was using it about once a month.

I use it on music CDs and DVDs, some which have additional digital content and have not had any problems. It may depend on how deep the damage is.
