Peripheral's specialist Pinpoint Consumer Electronics has launched two new advanced disc repair systems that promise to repair scratched discs in under a minute.

Developed by a former NASA scientist, and an award winning manufacturer, the SkipDR Advanced and the SkipDR Automax remove scratches from CDs, DVDs, games, photo and data discs that can cause skipping and freezing and interrupt play.

According to the company, it should be easy to bring a disc back to perfect working order using the SkipDR Advanced and SkipDR Automax - both of which incorporate a vertical disc loading design feature.

With the SkipDR Advanced you have to spray your disc with the resurfacing fluid provided, insert it into the vertical disc loading area, turn the handle to spin the disc, remove and then buff!

For those who would prefer an entirely automated process, the SkipDR Automax follows the same principles but incorporates 'auto load' and 'auto eject' features. The SkipDR Automax is also battery operated.

Both the SkipDR Advanced and the SkipDR Automax use a chemical free process that does not damage the data stored on discs, according to the company. Using a patented, replaceable resurfacing wheel, the surface of the disc is buffered and evened out. This should eliminate the refraction of the laser caused by the scratch and the disc should not skip anymore.

The SkipDR Advanced costs £29.99 (ex. VAT) and the SkipDR Automax is £34.95 (ex. VAT). Fifty discs can be repaired before the resurfacing wheel needs to be replaced, and both devices come complete with an instruction booklet, environmentally friendly fluid, drying cloth and a buffing square. Replacement kits are available for £4.99 (inc. VAT) and include a replacement wheel, resurfacing fluid, drying cloth and buffing square. More information can be found here.
