Instructions for CD Fix-It & CD Softies

(See Bottle for Quick Instructions).

Always place the disc you are treating on a clean, flat, non-abrasive surface and always use a clean area of CD Softies Washable Wipes or a clean, non-abrasive, lint-free soft cloth to apply CD Fix-It. Wash hands after each use.

To Clean: Shake well! Evenly apply 3-4 drops to unprinted side only. Gently wipe from center of disc outward until clean and dry. Repeat cleaning for stubborn grime. (This action alone will repair some skipping.)

To Determine if a Disc can be Repaired: First, examine the disc up against a bright light. Carefully check to see if any light is visible through the disc. Even the tiniest pinhole of light means that part of the reflective surface is missing, so part of the information encoded on the disc is gone and can never be repaired. This type of damage may occur when the label side is scratched or otherwise damaged, or when a disc has been left on "pause" for too long (i.e. "laser burn"), common with car CD players and auto-changers. If no light is visible, repair the disc as indicated below.

To Repair Skipping: First, clean the disc as above. Then evenly spread 4-5 drops from center to edge on unprinted side only. Let dry 1 minute, then buff from center to edge until clean and dry. Check for skipping. If skipping persists, repeat as necessary. You should find that each coat brings back more and more of the disc. If the disc still does not improve, apply CD Fix-It directly to the scratches and rub until solution disappears.

If skipping still persists, your CD may have severe damage which may require dozens of coats to completely fill the scratch. Some types of damage are more difficult to repair than others. Radial scratches, for example, cause the laser to follow a scratch in a circular path and even the most advanced error correction circuitry can’t compensate quickly enough. These types of scratches range from difficult to impossible to repair, sometimes associated with radial CD cleaners and shock to mobile or portable players when in use. If the disc doesn’t have radial scratches and still shows no improvement, your disc may have a manufacturer’s defect. Nothing can fix any type of manufacturer’s defect. Some discs with manufacturing defects may play properly when purchased, and develop problems over time. Severe scratches and defects may be irreparable damage. This is not an exact science. Results may vary. Not all discs can be saved, but CD Fix-It is clinically proven to repair a high percentage of skipping CDs.
