I love my jfj and have yet to find a disc i cant fix. Here is MY Method Sand with C pad for 20 seconds Sand with S pad for 10 seconds Polish # 2 for 2 minutes. Polish # 1 for 1 minutes. Also you dont need to use that much polish at all, just a dot on both sides smeared around is enough. Youll use more of the compound #1 than #2.

I have had my machine for years and love it! Once you get a feel for the machine you can get every disc to a flawless mirrorlike finish. One simple tip is to make sure you let the discs cool down after you run them in the machine. Once they are cooled down, you will not have the issue of added more scratches when you are removing the excess polish.

I had 2 of these i use to run at the same time... great value Upgraded to the Ecopro2, never looked back!! now have 2 of them. But i will say for very very deep scratches, the JFJ is good for that.

I just got a JFJ and am having issues with discs being unreadable after using the JFJ. I know you mention it in this video, but what do you do to make them readable again? What is not repairable?

Good Job! Your bold / intrepid scissors exercise on poor disc cracked me up, but had me riveted from beginning to end just to see if 'it could be done'! Thanks for the worthwhile review.

Thanks for the tips!

Does it work on all colored disk, black/purple?

@thriftschool do you still use this system?

We have one and it works great for us. Thanks for all of the videos, great work.

How many discs can you use before having to buy refills?

I got the package that had this machine and the jfj eyecon mini. I use the easy pro for the heavily scratched discs and the eyecon for the lightly scratched ones. So far they have been great

Great vid...Honest and to the point!

I’ve had one for a few years. So glad I got it

Love your positivity dude!

Thanks Man! I had no idea if this would actually work and while filming I thought I just wasted so much time lol! Luckily it worked and I was able to get out a video!

My Wii kept scratching my games up a lot while I play them but most of them still work it is just some have disc read error issues on certain parts of the game

Thanks for this vid! I found out about it because of you, and been tempted to get one not just for dvd to sell but for my own personal library , i have passed up plenty of dvds that looked terrible but to know that's almost fixable is awesome, i'll def get one for my own use , thanks Thriftschool you're the best!

What I don’t get is why you scratched the brand new disc? Why not just use a disc that’s already scratched!?

I just ordered one earlier tonight. I have a rare cd that's utterly thrashed. I appreciate your vid and all of the comments. I had a game shop polish it and it looks better, but like I said, "thrashed." We'll see.

Does is clean stains from discs

Actually if you'd taken your time it could've very well repaired the disc. It needed more sanding time........and then more polishing time.

Didn't take long to conclude that it would be a positive result, after seeing how many supplies you bought, etc ;). Machine looks good, and for a fair price. I was thinking "I could make this myself, it looks simple", but then, for the price I am not sure if that be worth it either.

what do you mean by saying if the disk surfaced by many times, it can get less layers ? do you mean in doing it in few mins with many times? or it can get less layers when i surface disks every time they get scratches?
