Millions of American CD and DVD lovers have discs that are scratched severely enough to cause screen freezing, loading problems, skipping and other errors. And now with the explosion of disc-based games and DVDs the problem is only getting bigger. In the past, the only options available for repairing damaged discs were: 1) inconvenient and, in the long run, expensive mail-order or in-store repair services, or 2) messy, toxic, and relatively ineffective ""paste-based"" repair kits. Not anymore ... After more than five years of research and development using the most sophisticated scientific and engineering tools available, Digital Innovations is proud to announce SkipDoctorô, the world's first CD and DVD scratch repair device. Now you too can own or give the product that's already saving thousands of dollars in damaged audio CDs, game discs and DVDs everyday in music, video game and movie rental stores across the country. SkipDoctor, which resulted from the combined talents of a former NASA scientist and an experienced consumer products engineer, is scientifically proven to remove or repair abrasions, light to medium scratches, dust, fingerprints and other surface imperfections - the primary disc related causes of playback problems. The product also has a ""reversibility"" feature that allows it to repair deeper or more stubborn scratches that may occur from time to time. The SkipDoctor design was recently awarded ""Design Distinction"" for 1999 by I.D. Magazine - the most prestigious design competition in America. This product has a lifetime replacement guarantee that ensures it will be around to immediately and conveniently restore CDs and DVDs to optimum performance for years to come. The product is virtually as effective as industrial repair machines costing hundreds or even thousands of dollars - but will pay for itself by repairing only one or two discs. SkipDoctor is also easy to use. Its machine-provided control makes it easy for even novices to fix discs the first time they try, and without risk of further damage to the disc or of getting messy, toxic paste all over themselves, their clothes, or their furniture. SkipDoctor(TM) uses only specially filtered water as a lubricant and consumers can rest assured that the product is both clean and completely safe for adults or children. To repair a disc, simply insert it into SkipDoctor, spray it with the provided environmentally friendly resurfacing fluid, and turn the handle until the disc makes one complete revolution. Flip the conveniently located reversibility switch to reverse the disc rotation direction and turn the handle until the disc makes another complete revolution in the opposite direction. Remove the disc and dry it thoroughly with the provided drying cloth, then use the provided felt buffing square to restore the disc to its original shiny appearance. The disc is once again problem-free! Like its sister products, GameDoctorô, DVDDoctorô and DataDoctorô, SkipDoctor repairs all CD/DVD-style discs, including music CDs, DVDs and PlayStation and other game discs. SkipDoctor comes with a vinyl pouch for easy storage of the accessory items. It also comes with Digital Innovations' lifetime warranty. If for any reason SkipDoctor fails to perform to specifications, the consumer can simply return it directly to Digital Innovations for free repair or replacement. This guarantee applies to the SkipDoctor unit itself and does not apply to resurfacing wheels or other accessories. SkipDoctor is made entirely in the USA from 100 percent American components. It has a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $34.99 and is available in thousands of leading retailers, catalogs, and E-commerce sites across the U.S. and Canada.
