Especially considering you don't get new cloths. Just distilled water and alcohol. As others say, this is nothing special. It's not. How cheap. They don't even include the little buffing square and polishing cloth. I was under the impression that it was something special.
However, for professional use, (i.e., those who use it more than a few times a year), there are much better products. They do an adequate job for the average user. It does a FAR superior job to the Digital Innovations products and is no more complicated to use (but it is a bit more expensive). I used the Skip Dr. products for a couple of years. I'm currently using the JFJ Easy Pro Repair System, also available on Amazon.
This gadget has already paid for itself by renovation some DVDs so they can be reused.
I expect the alcohol is only there so they can say they sell a solution and not just water for almost $3.00 per ounce.I am an optician and was an optical lab technician for several years. Distilled would be best and is way cheaper than buying this solution. This solution is only filtered water and a tiny bit of isopropanol alcohol. To edge polycarbonate (the same material disks are made of) straight water is used.
Other online retailers carry it for a lot less but hefty shipping charges. I've been using my manual crank Skip Doctor with this fluid for years & have had great results. The comments about making your own are irrelevant - if you get the concentration wrong you'll screw up your discs big time.
