This works well! So easy to run programs and only lasts a short time. They show you on screen the different areas it is cleaning. We used twice through to be sure! Does as it says- nap more white specks, loss of s teens or green pic! We will use as suggested and clean every 1 p hours. Once a week for us. Worth the money! Read more

I looked at a stream of CD / DVD laser lens cleaners that all seemed similar, and seeing one by Maxell, a name that I recognized, I added it to my cart. It arrived this morning, and I took it to the car to try it out with my radio, but no luck. I kept getting an error, although my retail and self written CDs worked just fine. I looked again at the package and sure enough, it said DVD, but not CD. I took it in the house, and it worked fine on my optical drives, and DVD player, which I use primarily for playing CDs. Duh! Of course it worked, because all of these read both CDs and DVDs, and in cleaning the laser lens it accomplishes both because the same laser is used for both. On the disk is a Video file like on DVDs. Nice system for DVD players. I ordered one that says CD and DVD players, and I am curious how it works for both. I hope I don't have to buy a third that is for CDs only. Live and learn. Read more
My PS5 wasn't reading discs. I ran the cleaning CD through it about 30 times until it cleaned the lens, and my PS5 started working again. Excellent CD. I recommend it. Read more
My vehicle DVD player would spit out the discs, and I wasn’t sure if this would fix it. But it did! The first time I put it in my DVD player, it spit it out and said disc error, but the second time I put it in, it stayed in, and then I took it out, I put a regular DVD in, and it worked! Amazing!

I AM SICK OF PROTECTIVE PLASTIC 'PEELINGS' ON PRODUCTS AND EQUIPMENT!!! Every single item lately HAS NOT WORKED until I found the small, almost unnoticed piece of protective coatings. Ridiculous! Leftover plastic on this DVD Cleaner caused it NOT WORK and I should return them! I read the directions! NOTHING STATES REMOVE THIS BEFORE USE except the small unnoticed plastic on the disc....I insert into a server, get a speaker to hear the CD and.... it wouldn't launch and it would not recognize the disc! Great, I tried it in another system and same...defective until I CLOSELY examined the disc and ....It had a small label on the spindle I could not see, a 'protective covering' once removed, it worked but it still would not automatically launch. I'm tired of manufacturers doing this! Read more
DO NOT PICK AT THE 3 LITTLE BUMPS ON THE PLAYING SURFACE. The Maxell 190050 DVD cleaner came quickly. I opened it up & found no directions written inside the case. Dust cover paper said instructions on rear; so after some tugging, I got the paper out & looked at its back for directions. The DVD enclosed had 3 little bumps on the playing surface, which looked like defects in some plastic surface. So I mistakenly picked at them to smooth them out. But that may have damaged the micro cleaning brushes. They don't look like brushes, but tiny defect bumps on a plastic film surface. Directions say to replace product when brush (singular) becomes visibly worn. I don't see any brush anywhere. I thought maybe it was missing until I noticed on the front dust cover it says, "3 Super fine microfiber brushes." So I figure those 3 bumps must be brushes, but I haven't got out a microscope to look to see if they in fact look like brushes. I ran the disc as directed. The disk played & showed directions on screen and video pictures with a menu of choice: like 1) clean disc 2) check L audio speaker , 23 check R audio speaker , etc. So my DVD player was working to the extent that I could see this menu & heard the classical musical background & watch stuff like clouds floating, plants & insects in a video, while it supposedly was cleaning. But when I got thru on first run, my DVD player would still not play my video DVDs. But then after running the cleaner about 3X, I could now play my DVDs. But after running the disc around 20X, it still would not write on the discs, that is, I still could not record onto a DVD. It could be my fault for not reading the dust cover carefully and having picked at the bumps. But I am next going to try Memorex which advertises 6 brushes, but costs a lot more. Of course if the cleaning does not result in fixing your DVD player / recorder, that proves nothing, since there may be some other malfunction causing your player/ recorder not to work (for example, you might have a bad capacitor on a circuit board). Thus I wish I could make this review "Comments Only," but you have to assign stars to post a review. My main beef is lack of warning on the bumps when you open the case. There should be a piece of paper or warning on disc that says, LEAVE THE 3 BUMPS ON THE DVD ALONE; they are tiny cleaning brushes. UPDATE: I bought the Memorex LASER LENS CLEANER FOR DVD ( 32028015 ) after the Maxell did not restore burn/record ability. The Memorex has more microbrushes that the Maxell. After ~ 1 minute of cleaning, the Memorex restored the DVD burner/recorder so that I could now copy titles off my hard drive to my dvd drive (Pioneer DVR). Read more
