Getting Started
Directions for disc cleaning:
- SPRAY CleanDr® Disc Cleaning Solution lightly onto the play side of the disc (do not spray on the label side).
- SHINE the disc with a microfiber cleaning cloth, removing all moisture. Use gentle pressure for heavy dirt. Repeat as necessary.
Cloth Care: To avoid built-up dirt and grime, machine wash regularly in warm water. Hang to dry and shake fibers loose before the next use. Always store completely dried.
Directions for disc repair:
- Prepare your SkipDr® Disc Repair System for use by opening the battery door on the bottom of the unit and inserting 6 AA batteries following directional prompts for “+” and “-” engraved on the housing.
- An optional AC power adapter is available online at www.digitalinnovations.com. When using an AC adapter, plug the AC power adapter transformer into an electrical outlet, then plug the jack into the back side of the repair unit base.
- Generously spray the entire play side of the damaged disc (the opposite side of the disc label) using provided SkipDr® Rejuvenating Fluid.
- To begin the repair process, swing the disc holder open by gently pulling the top of the holder away from the repair unit until it clicks into the open position.
- Gently insert the disc into the disc holder with the play side of the disc touching the FlexiWheel™, until the disc is seated. (Disc will not touch the bottom of the disc holder.)
- Press the power button to start the repair process. Allow the disc to spin in the repair device for approximately 1 minute or 2 complete revolutions. Press the power button to stop the process.
- Once the repair process is complete and the unit is powered off, pull the disc out of the disc holder. Remove any remaining moisture with a drying cloth.
- IMPORTANT! Place the disc (play-side up) on top of the blue drying cloth. Firmly and thoroughly buff the dry, resurfaced disc with the white felt buffing square. Buffing helps to restore the disc’s shiny appearance and ensures optimal disc performance. Scratches do not have to be removed completely for the disc to play perfectly, and scratches may still be visible.
- A slight radial pattern left on the disc is normal after the repair process is complete. (Image of the disc before and after)
- When not in use, the drying cloth, felt buffing square, and rejuvenating fluid can be stored conveniently inside the back of the repair unit.
Note: SkipDr® Disc Repair System repairs surface scratches on discs. No system can repair gouges and deep scratches reaching down to a disc’s reflective layer, label-side damage, or warping.
Directions for replacing the FlexiWheel™:
The FlexiWheel™ will repair up to 25 discs. Once it has worn, the FlexiWheel™ can easily be replaced.
- If a disc is in the unit, remove it first before replacing FlexiWheel™ so as not to damage the disc.
- Gently pull the worn FlexiWheel™ from the repair device by pulling the wheel away from the wheel hub with your fingers. Lift out of the repair device once the wheel is detached from the hub.
- Insert the new FlexiWheel™ into the repair device, ensuring that the side with protruding center faces INWARD toward the device (the wheel cap will face outward). Rotate the wheel to align hub prongs with wheel openings and press very firmly against the repair device to ensure that the FlexiWheel™ is completely seated on the hub.

Tips Digital Innovations’ SkipDr® Disc Repair Systems are trusted by over 8 million loyal customers and are recognized as the smartest solution to repairing scratched discs. We have put together the following helpful hints and tips to ensure optimal results for your disc repair.
If after following and reviewing this information, you have additional questions or are not completely satisfied, please call us at 1-888-SMART-58.
- It is very important to keep discs wet during the resurfacing process, or discs may become damaged.
- The final buffing step will help prevent new problems and ensures the best repair results. You can buff as hard as you want, as it will not harm the disc. A slight radial pattern left on the disc is normal after the repair process is complete.
- Be sure to wipe and buff your disc in a radial pattern (from the inside center to the outside rim of the disc in a straight line), do not wipe or buff in a circular or circumferential pattern. Store buffing square as recommended to keep it clean and free from debris that could cause scratches. Replacement buffing squares are available from your local retailer or directly from Digital Innovations at wwww.digitalinnovations.com
- If the disc is not completely repaired on the first try, repeat until completely fixed or no further improvement is evident. If the disc still skips, your disc player may need cleaning or repair. Test with a disc that you know is not damaged.
- The same disc can be repaired multiple times without the worry of reaching the data layer of the disc.
- Circumferential scratches (curved scratches that lie in a direction around the disc) are more likely to cause problems than radial scratches (that run from the inside center to the outside rim of the disc).
- A disc’s play side is usually the “shiny” side and the label side is the “dull” side or “graphics” side.
- Discs with label-side damage cannot be repaired by any method. Scratches visible on the label side of a disc are always due to label-side damage, but the reverse is not always true. Label-side damage can look like play-side damage when viewed straight-on from the play-side. Here’s how to check for label-side damage:
- Method #1- Hold the disc a foot or so from a light source with the play side facing you. If you can see through a scratch, that scratch is definitely on the label side. If you can’t see through the scratch, it is probably on the play side. Use Method #2 to be sure.
- Method #2- Tilt the disc so you are looking at the scratch from an angle If the scratch has a reflection in the surface of the disc then the scratch is on the play side. If not, the scratch is on the label side.
- Store the SkipDr® Disc Repair System in a dust-free environment at room temperature. If it is stored at a warmer or cooler temperature, allow it to return to room temperature before use.
- If the unit starts to run slowly when using batteries, replace the batteries and start the repair process from the beginning. If attempting to repair 30 or more discs consecutively, it is recommended to use the AC power adapter available for the SkipDr® Disc Repair System
