If you need to migrate either data or audio files off CDs, you're not getting anything if the CD looks like it had a close encounter with a belt sander. Thankfully, our collection of the best CD repair kits is here to help. While CDs have definitely fallen out of fashion, we all know someone that has a dragon's hoard of scuffed-up CDs that are just begging to be repaired, if only for the sole purpose of grabbing whatever media they're holding and quickly turning them into your next modern art project.
It's important to note that even the best CD repair kits can't work miracles. They are capable of improving the condition of abused or neglected discs, but this may not be enough to retrieve the contents without some level of degradation.
I've heard that toothpaste can be used to repair CDs is there any truth to this?
While perhaps not the best method, some kinds of toothpaste can be used to repair small scratches on CDs. This is due to the mild astringents that are employed in most dental hygiene products. However, this process is hardly foolproof and can vary wildly based on the type of toothpaste you use and the severity of the damage.
I've used a repair kit and my disc still skips, is there anything I can do?
If you've done a fair bit of abrasion and still can't read the disc, your best bet is data recovery software like Stellar Data Recovery. While hardly a surefire method, using data recovery software will allow you to retrieve some amount of information off the disc before it inevitably ends up in the trash.
How does a CD repair kit work?
CD repair kits work through a combination of polishing and mild abrasion. This is accomplished through the application of astringents and friction. Most stretches aren't very deep, so by essentially removing the top layer of the disc, you're removing any surfaces that might impair the optical drive from correctly reading your media.
