CD REPAIR KIT
What is Audio Innovations CD Repair Kit?
It's a repair kit for Compact Discs, it repairs scratches and surface blemishes on CD's .

THE Krr
The kit includes two impor-
tant parts.
• The first is a non-alcohol
cleaner, alcohol is a solvent
and obtrusive, this cleaner is
not. This cleaner removes both
dirt and nicotine from ciga-
rette smoke, which often
causes CD's to skip or not play
at all.
• The second part of the CD
Repair Kit is two vials that
make up the repair part of the
kit.
The first solution smoothes
out the scratches and fills
them. The second solution
seals the repair to make it per-
manent. This is an advantage
over other type of repairs, like
waxes and polishes, because
it's a permanent repair that
doesn't wash out the next time
you clean your CD's.
The Repair Kit also includes
cotton balls (100% cotton only,
rayon/cotton puffs scratch
CD's) and a work pad (a piece
of foam) to keep the CD's from
sliding around while cleaning
and repairing them. The best
thing I like about Audio Inno-
vations' CD Repair Kit,
though, is that it works.
How To UsE THE KIT
The first thing to do is clean
the CD with the CD cleaner, by
dropping the cleaner on the
CD's and wiping with a lint
free 100% cotton cloth or 100%
cotton balls. Remember to
wipe from the center out, in a
radial fashion. Do not wipe in a
circular fashion, this is true
when cleaning or repairing the
CD.
