Best Disc Repair Kits of 2026

"I was honestly surprised by how well this device works—it fixed every disc I tried, even ones I thought were beyond hope. Just be sure to follow the instructions carefully and use the right cleaning materials. It's not a miracle worker for severely damaged discs, and it can leave some scratches, but for my large collection, it's been a total lifesaver."

"After using this on a bunch of my old DVDs, I can say it made them look almost brand new. I’m very impressed with the results, and it’s definitely worth the investment if you have a lot of discs needing some TLC."

"I mainly use the repair feature, which involves gently grinding the disc surface. For discs that other methods couldn’t fix, this tool brought several rare CDs back to life. If you’ve exhausted your other options, this is a solid backup solution."

"I picked up a disc at a thrift shop that looked hopeless due to deep scratches. After running the buff and repair cycles twice, plus a cleaning cycle, my copy of 'A Knight’s Tale' now reads perfectly. The instructions are simple, and the device works remarkably well for the price. It is a bit noisy, but that’s expected. Overall, I’m impressed with the results so far."

"I’ve used this for 25 unreadable discs, making them playable again. It works on game discs and DVDs alike, though it doesn’t fix creases. Yes, it’s a little noisy and leaves some fine scratches, but repeated cycles improve the appearance. This is definitely worth the $50 compared to paying $10 per disc at a shop. Would be even better with extra pads and solution, but I recommend it."

"If you want to restore your CD or DVD collection, this is the best choice I’ve found. The machine cleans and repairs automatically, and my discs are now scratch-free and sound excellent. It’s far better than my old cleaner, and the price was great with fast shipping. If you value your discs, I highly recommend this product."

"I was honestly impressed with how well this kit fixed my DVDs, even though I had my doubts at first. By following the instructions, I got great results, so I'd say it's worth it. I'm even planning to buy another Procare unit because I liked it that much."

"After purchasing this kit, I was amazed at how it not only removed scratches but also restored the surface and cleaned my CDs thoroughly. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable solution."

"I use these kits a lot, especially because of my young daughter. It can take some time on deep scratches, but the improvement is noticeable—not perfect, but much better than before!"

"I've found this device to be phenomenal for removing light to moderate scratches from my PS2 games. The process is straightforward—just spray, insert, run, and eject. Customer service was prompt and helpful, especially when I realized this isn't for BluRay discs. For CDs and DVDs, it’s been worth every penny, and I’d give it more than five stars if I could."

"I started with the hand-crank version and moved up because I have a lot of kids' DVDs. Keeping the disc wet is crucial—the wetter, the better! It has revived many discs that used to skip or freeze, and although it leaves faint marks, it’s perfect for personal use. Definitely worth the investment for families."

"I tried to fix a DVD that could read some tracks but not others. After using this device, the DVD became completely unreadable. The buffing left severe radial marks despite following directions and hand-buffing. Maybe it works for minor damage, but in my experience, it made the disc worse."

"I was really unsure if this would work, but it truly restored my scratched CDs. Using a microfiber cloth and the solution, I saw a dramatic improvement. My old discs play perfectly now."

"As someone in the retro-gaming world, I find this product to be the best value for resurfacing discs short of investing in high-end equipment. It helps me fix up 50 to 80 games easily."

"I initially bought this to use with my machine, but it works just as well by hand with some effort. Not only does it polish CDs, but it even helps with light scratches on my car!"

"I've been resurfacing commercial DVDs for a couple of years, and this product has been the most effective polish I've found. Being able to order with Prime is a bonus, and it arrived well-packaged compared to previous purchases."

"Without this compound and machine, half my rented DVDs would be unplayable. It does a fantastic job cleaning and polishing scratched discs."

"This system has saved CDs that were nearly ruined. I even revived a DVD from Netflix using JFJ products, and it worked perfectly."

"I want to clarify that this product is not a fix for deep data layer damage—if you see light coming through your disc, there's nothing that can help. However, for surface oxidation, tarnish, and light scratches, this stuff works wonders. A little goes a long way and the polishing process takes some patience, but the results are worth it. I also recommend using their cloths for best results."

"I've tried similar products in the past, and I'm glad to say this one works just as well. I deal with a lot of badly damaged CDs I get secondhand, and this has helped me restore most of them to playability. If you want to tackle really tough discs, I'd suggest a buffing wheel. Once you get the pressure right, this product is a game changer."

"I had several discs with minor scratches that were skipping, and using this product completely solved the problem. Just a little bit and a microfiber cloth did the trick—no more skipping!"

"I bought this with low expectations, but it actually performed better than I thought. Out of about 100 CDs and DVDs, it only failed to fix a couple. Very pleased with how well it works."

"I really appreciate that replacement supplies are easy to get. The machine is a huge money saver, especially with my autistic son being rough on his discs. Makes life so much easier."

"The products are exactly like the originals that came with the machine. Fast shipping and careful packaging made the whole process smooth. Thanks so much!"

"I've been using these pads in my shop for cleaning hundreds of discs, and they do an excellent job removing scratches from CDs, DVDs, and game discs. They last quite a long time and outperform others I've tried, which is impressive. Wish they were more available in Canada!"

"The JFJ system has saved discs that were virtually unplayable. After receiving a bad DVD from Netflix, I used the JFJ products and the disc worked perfectly. Fast delivery and great value made the whole experience even better."

"Our store resurfaces a large number of discs daily, and while the machine itself works well and removes even the worst scratches, we've had some trouble with the included buffing pads. They tended to wear out faster than expected, but customer service did try to help address our concerns."
