In order to test out the different solutions which the kit provides I picked out a CD and a DVD that would be used for testing purposes.  These two lucky candidates were Metallica's Load CD and the Reprise Music sampler that came with my Toshiba DVD player.

 First up, the Metallica CD.  Due to the amount of play that this CD has received over the years, it was beginning to skip due to a large amount of minor scratches.  The disc was beginning to skip so badly that I had my doubts about the kit being able to repair it.  Following the instructions I began to repair the disc.  The actual repair job only takes about 10 minutes and is very straight forward.  Once the repairs were complete I put the disc into the player and gave it a spin.  The skipping that once plagued the CD had vanished.  The CD played like new and continues to a month after it was repaired.

 For the next test, once again following the instructions carefully, I began testing the scratch guard spray.  I took the CD that was included in my review kit and treated half of the disc with the spray.  I left the other half untreated and marked it so that I would know which side I was looking at.  After applying the spray I dropped the CD to the floor and proceeded to kick it back and forth across the room.  Upon putting the disc through it's torture test I picked it up to check out the damage.  Although there were a few minor scratches on the treated half, the untreated half was almost destroyed.  There were numerous scratches some of them very deep.  Another test, another success for the Trio.

 Finally, the time came to test a DVD.  For this test I used a pair of scissors and began to mark the DVD with a series of fairly severe scratches.  After doing so, I placed the DVD in the player to see what kind of damage I had done.  Indeed the disc was almost inoperable as the player had serious problems as it struggled to play the disc.  Now that the damaged was assessed it was time for the repair job (almost the same as the treatment I used on the CD).  Once again, following the instructions carefully, I began to treat the damaged disc.  Upon completion I popped the disc in the player to see the results.  The results were quite amazing to me.  Even though I had damaged the DVD it played with no problems whatsoever.  I must admit I was and still am, very impressed.

 As if this hands on review isn't enough, even WAMO (a DVD/CD manufacturing plant) found this product to repair all but the most severely damaged discs.  Quite an accomplishment.

 As I stated many times in the review, in order for this product to perform at its full potential you must follow the directions carefully.  If used properly this product can have amazing results in the areas of disc protection and repair.  This product is highly recommended for any DVD collector (especially those with children) and should be considered a must have.
