Cool thanks!

I work at a library and I use this exact machine every week to clean our DVDs and game discs! Works like a charm with light to moderate scratches. Cool to see it here!

Wouldn't it damage if you go over the disc as many tines as a careless person would check out the disc at the library?

I don't know if you are aware or do it off camera, but it helps to spray with water and very gently wipe off the disc after each of the sandings (or just run it under the sink with cool water for a second). If you are doing a ton of games I understand it would be more time consuming, but all of the microscopic plastic particles end up on your buffing pads. Especially after a coarse sanding on a very damaged disc you are keeping that material on the disc (in addition to the soft sand pad) when you start to buffer/polish, and are just adding more micro scratches resulting in more time spent buffing. Saves on the life/effectiveness of your pads too. Just my 2 cents.

WHOA BRO!!! I remember this type of machine! My old favorite Mom n Pop Game shop back in my home town usta have one like this. They would repair your discs for a low cost. Great vid Bro!

that second pad isnt "for an extra shine" its actually to buff out the scratches left by the coarser pad

It has been a great investment for me. I think it has paid for itself at this point.

This was great. I was researching which DVD repair kit to go with and the price ranges are so wide! I wanted to buy one for my Sun for his x-box games mostly. At $130 it's an investment. But if it salvages 5 games or many movies we have to clean or repair it may very well be worth it after 5/10 repairs or so! Quick Question? Is there a timer on the machine?

@RetroGamePlayers

Awesome thanks! Yes mine has paid for itself for sure. And the machine has a 10 sec, 20 sec, 1 and 2 min timer.

I'm not sure because I've never seen a full size machine, or taken any disc's to be resurfaced. But I would guess it's a similar process?

I have one of these machines and wish I could get my scratched PlayStation One games to look brand new like that.

Oh yeah the black surface really shows scratches better than normal discs.

If I am not sure which one I start whether coarse or soft sandpaper , does the coarse one hurt or erase the data of any game CD/DVD?

@RetroGamePlayers

5 жыл бұрын

Depends on the scratches. The manual tells you which order to do it depending on how deep the scratches are. If you keep using the Coarse then yes you could damage the disc. I just do it incrementally and test it if I am not sure.

Got a question for you when you review the jfj disc repair system do you get the product for free to review and if so can you do it on eBay I'm new to this and was wondering? thanks 😀

No it's something I bought. If they sent it to me that would be great, but I just ordered it from Amazon if I remember correctly.

Hey, I just bought one of these recently, do your finished discs have swirl marks all over it? Mine do even if I only use #2 compound and don't sand the discs. I pretty much put just as much compound as you. So far I haven't had any discs that look clean like yours in the video.

@issdar

Same here just got machine and no matter what I do can't get out swirl marks after using blue compound!!!! So frustrating...No one is talking about it either in youtube videos either which is odd to me since everyone I have asked said there is no way to get rid of swirls. All these videos make it look like it comes out as a mirror finish. Did you ever figure it out?

@weirdo808hi

3 жыл бұрын

@@issdar I actually started using Meguiars compound and polish instead of the included ones and have had better results. I also did notice that spraying a little water on the disc when doing the compound helps as well than just going straight in with compound only. Of course using 3rd party compound / polish voids your warranty though. They do have another type of buffer pad though, I complained to them about the swirl marks on discs (before I started using Meguiars) and they sent me like a softer buffing pad to use when polishing the discs (I think they called it a soft pad). That pad pretty much made the discs look almost new. Try and see if they'll send you that softer pad for free, otherwise I think they tried to charge me $10 for 1 as its not advertised anywhere.

@issdar

3 жыл бұрын

@@weirdo808hi Thanks for the tips! I will see if they can send a softer pad. I ordered some Novus plastic polish #1 and #2 I am going to give that a try on different pads. I am kinda weary of using meguiars compound since it contains petroleum products. Not sure how that will react in the long term with plastic CD's. I know acrylic is very prone to cracking even if you get isopropyl alcohol on it. However I am not sure the type of plastic CD's are made from (I supposed it can vary depending on the CD too). I would feel comfortable using Meguiar's M10 Mirror Glaze Clear Plastic Polish don't think it contains petroleum products and looks safe on plastics. Wonder if anyone has tried it ?

Does this work on deep scratches? Because some of the discs I have are deeply scratched but have trouble reading during the game.
