Scratched CDs Can Be Fixed... Stop Throwing Your CDs DVDs and Game Discs Away!!!
This page should give the reader a better understanding of why CDs, CD-ROMs, and DVDs refuse to play, or fail to load, and how Wipe Out! acts to correct those problems.
Wipe Out! will work on almost all scratches to a digital disc, but requires your efforts to "buff/wipe out" the scratch. Wipe Out! is a simple product to use, no different from a rubbing or polishing compound for cars, except that it took years to perfect the mixture of ingredients to the optimal level. As a result of these efforts, the user can repair most CDs in less than a minute.
The Wipe Out! CD Repair solution is a permanent fix for your CDs. It is also "risk-free" to your components, because you will use the product for your repair, and then remove it completely from your disc. Wipe Out! is very simple to use, and it will work for you with relative ease. We have been granted U.S. Patent #5,641,345 on the Wipe Out! CD DVD Game Repair Solution , and our International Patents are Pending.
What does Wipe Out! do?
The Wipe Out! CD DVD Game Repair Kit is a polishing compound specifically formulated for Compact Disc products. It repairs all varieties of discs including Audio and Music CDs, CD-ROMs, DVDs, and Laserdiscs. Wipe Out! is not a magic cream or a moisturizer for your CD, or a "filler" for the grooves caused by a scratch. Those solutions can wear off, or worse yet, "flake-off" inside your very-warm, high-speed, fast-spinning CD-ROM, DVD, or audio player. Eventually, the problems caused by those quick-fix solutions can destroy your expensive hardware.
| How Does a Scratch Cause Problems? Scratches on compact discs are not digital problems, but optical problems. When the laser in your player hits a scratch, the refraction causes the laser to mistrack and be unable to find the next digital "one or zero" on the bit plane (magnified digital wafer shown to right). On a music CD you will hear the familiar repeating glitch sound as the laser is stuck looking for the next digital bit, while on a CD-ROM or DVD, the program will freeze or be unable to load. |

Where is the Scratch?
Probably one of the most difficult problems in determining where a CD is scratched is that CDs are just the opposite of old-fashioned vinyl records. The tracks begin on the inside of the disc rather than the outside. Also, depending on the number of tracks on a CD, the music usually does not "fill up" the whole disc. Therefore, outer edge scratches would not be heard on tracks 1 or 2, but on the later tracks of a CD. You would usually find track 1 or 2 scratches towards the center of the disc.
Hint:
In the right reflecting light you can actually see the separations between tracks just like on records only they are quite close together. This only pertains to "music" CDs. CD-ROMs and DVDs tend to have no visible lines separating the information.

The graphs below were made by the tallysurf machine shown to the right. This machine measures the surface smoothness of our sample CD, in the three phases of our scratch tests.

These tests clearly show a reduction in the physical roughness of the surface of the CD, after application of the Wipe Out! CD DVD Game Repair Kit . This demonstrates that Wipe Out! will physically smooth the surface imperfections caused by a scratch. In fact, Wipe Out! measurably removed most signs of the abrasions, and restored function to the test CD.
How does Wipe Out! work?
Technically, the Wipe Out! concept is very simple. Three basic components, which comprise the Wipe Out! CD DVD Game Repair Kit , are shaken and mixed together. They are then applied to the surface of the damaged disc, in a polishing manner, to resurface the scratched area of your compact disc. This resurfacing is accomplished with the use of chemical softeners and micro-abrasives. Once your disc has been successfully repaired , you will still notice hairline scratches which remain on the disc, and are produced by the abrasives in Wipe Out! These scratches are a normal part of the polishing process, and will not affect the "readability" of your disc. They are a result of the abrasives "sanding out" the deeper scratches, which caused your player to reject your disc, or skip during a song in the first place. The particle size of the abrasive we chose, is large enough to produce the quickest results possible, with minimal efforts on your part . We could make the surface of the CD perfectly smooth, by using smaller abrasives, but you would work much harder with no audible, visual, or on CD-ROMs, "readable" benefit.
The active ingredients used in the Wipe Out! CD DVD Game Repair Solution are
- A chemical which evaporates quickly and prepares the surface of the CD, by "melting" a micro layer of the CD plastic coating.
- A microabrasive compound which polishes the disc with your help.
- A hard wax in liquid form which suspends all of the chemicals long enough to produce the desired results. It also aids in the polished appearance of the repaired disc.
Competition?
Several coating type products are available on the market. We believe these coatings are an unsatisfactory solution, as they can eventually flake-off inside your CD platter, and potentially ruin your drive. Our goal in developing Wipe Out! was to make your CD function properly, in the least amount of time, with the least amount of effort. We also wanted to insure the safety of your hardware. Since Wipe Out! leaves no residue, works in about a minute, and is easy to use, we feel we have created a safe, inexpensive solution that will bring virtually all digital media back to life.
