Using micro-commercial polishing agents specifically tailored for optical disc repair, ScratchOut repairs CD's and DVD's at the microscopic level by polishing the clear polycarbonate plastic, which covers the metallic platter deep inside the disc.

Under normal conditions, this soft acrylic plastic can become scratched during daily use. Once scratched and the disc is played in a CD or DVD player, a laser within the player which reads its reflection from the digital information stored on the inner metallic platter cannot receive its reflection properly and the disc becomes unusable.

Using ScratchOut can literally save millions of consumers, millions of dollars by repairing their favorite CD's and DVD's.

In the case of audio CD's or game and movie DVD's, the consumer is usually faced with disposing of the disc. In the business marketplace, where critical computer data or software that has been "burned" onto a CDR or DVD-R at home or office, the lost data can often be irreplaceable. In these instances alone, ScratchOut can be invaluable to the consumer. Worldwide estimates indicate that nearly 20 billion optical discs were sold in 2006 alone.
