The funny thing is I've just watched you do a how-to video on a machine that I sold to you. What is my life coming too hahaha :')
LOL that is quite funny
,
Thanks for the tutorial, didn't want to spend an hour looking for my instructions. Works great!
I've only discovered your channels recently. Thanks for being so generous with your time and information.
Thanks for this, just setting mine up for the first time so appreciate the walkthrough video!
Thank you for pointing me in the direction of this video. Just what I was looking for
Cool vid. After doing over 1000 dvd type discs, I found the most efficient way is 20 seconds rough sand, 1 minute white compound (I use Meguiar's) then use a microfibre cloth and it gets the job done the vast majority of the time. With everything about 2 minutes per disc or 30 discs per hour.
20 seconds of Soft or Coarse sand paper? and using Megiars does this technique leave the discs mint mirror finish? or very faint swirls? I've been thinking of buying the ECO PRO 2
@@pdusainc 20 seconds coarse only. Fine sand is a waste and actually added swirls for me. The meguiar will
Finish it to like new condition. I guess the polish would make it pop a little more but I aim to sell used very good and the coarse sand 20 seconds with 1 minute buff is the Goldilocks zone for me
@@davidfernandes8094 Awesome, I appreciate your fast reply, I assume you don't use this method with Blu-Rays?
@@pdusainc I’ve done maybe 5 blu rays. Not enough experience with them. The JFJ machine says blu ray friendly
@@davidfernandes8094 thanks again for your input!
Great video, Nic. Thanks for the demo.
Wow this disc repair machine is fantastic. Thanks for making this video Nic! That is super helpful 👍
My pleasure Bianca
Thanks very informative. Keep up the good work and good luck in reselling for xmas
Thanks for doing this video nick, very helpful indeed, i am 100% getting one of them - THANKS
Glad it was helpful
Glad I found this. I just got ungated on Amazon to sell DVD's, CD's, & Software, and have been debating about whether or not to invest in one of these.
That works great! Thanks for the video! :)
Did anyone else get chills when he touched the sandpaper?
Well done, great video, today I used this machine for the first time, it did the job pretty very. You should make a video about cleaning GameCube (mini disks) games if not already.
Thank you so much i was hoping someone would present a good machine to use
Really useful video , thanks Nic
Yes, when you don't have your lady friend around we always end up doing things one-handed indeed. Ty for posting, considering buying. Not one place to take injured discs in the (w)hole of Springfield, ILL
I had this one in the past but just can't got used to it. Now I'm more than happy to send my games to professional disc resurfacer who charges 1 euro per disc, for me its the better alternative even I have about 100 each month
Nic for expensive or rare games I recommend to cut out a small disc with a hole out of foam or thin cloth that just fits behind the plastic nut, this stops the machine making that ring mark on the disc center, I use foam the kind they sell in rolls for packing approx 2mm thick, noticed the same mark on a lot of CEX discs!
Yeah I have noticed this too - have started using a small piece of rubber to stop the scratching now - thanks :)
Thank you for this!
great video very informative
Been using my JFJ a few years now and its paid for itself 1000 times over! One tip I would give is I always use a disc cleaning fluid after every repair just to clean off any chemicals on the disc! This is something I learnt the hard way as discs I sold looked mint and working but a few were returned unplayable! after a quick clean with cleaning fluid and cloth they played perfect! The early fails have lead to great sales! Love my JFJ
RubberBand Squad what cleaning fluid do you use?

Hi big and andrea good luck in the future very bright future by the way I want to be a reseller when I'm older and you are my inspiration
Sorry I ment nic
Not big
Glad you are enjoying the channel - LOL - I've been called many things :)
If you get some gasket maker and line the top of the walls where the top lays on it with a layer it should help with the sound. Just want to make sure you don't need the machine for a day or two to let it dry proper.
Thank you for sharing that. I ever wanted to know if this machines working like they saying. And the results are really good. But the price well if you get a good price out of it it's worth. If not well I'm gonna sell them with there scratches.
Glad you found it helpful :)
This is sold out on the side new and used 😲 must be popular 👍
I hope this works better than JFJs similar offering for 7" vinyls back in the 70s. That thing was a heap if ( fertilizer).
Hi Nic Great video 👌🏻 the supplier I’m looking at says it will only do 50 per week. Does that match your experience. They’re citing a heat cut out
Hey Nic and Andrea. I wouldn't recommend JFJ machine for your business. This machine is designed for personal collectors who wants to clean their disc every now and then. I'm a high volume seller in New Zealand. Sold over 15,000 video games online within New Zealand in the past two years. I have 3 machines. The machine I use is called Eco Pro 2. I've checked the Europe site for Eco Pro 2 and they are charging €1,250 for one machine. I don't know why it's so expensive for the UK? In New Zealand I can buy one for €700. The machine is designed for us online sellers. High volume sellers. Machine is extremely quiet, has one set of pads that does everything. The compound and water is built-in the machine so you don't have to manually add anything for each disc you're doing. The machine self-dries the disc. You may have a little residue on the side, but a quick wipe with a micro-fiber cloth takes care of that. And all you have to do is place the disc in the machine, no turning knob thing to secure the disc. The machine will automatically eject once the cycle is done. I don't make TH-cam videos, but i did one for my listing showing how the machine works: th-cam.com/video/j_xuhMDmoFQ/w-d-xo.html The link to Eco Pro Site: www.ecopro2.co.nz/
Thanks for the info, but for the volume I do which isn't huge this suits me perfectly :)
Grrr just missed it, sorry I was hanging out in Peters Live.
You didn't miss much really :)
i got it at amazon and it's works good, how to clean a blu ray disc?
I have one of these but used to find it left lots of smaller circular light surface "scratches" which didn't affect playback but from a reselling point of view wasn't great (similar to what you had with the sandpaper disc). Not sure what I was doing wrong? The solutions have solidified now so may buy some new ones and give it a try again as it is a useful tool (despite the initial cost)
It shouldn't leave circular marks at all.... getting some new solution may help
Nic, you should try a bungie cord to hold the lid down
Very interesting nic. Sorry didnt join in the chat was jystvpive as i realised you was live.
No problem Pete
I agree with one guy below. Sand paper on disc gives me chills, too. Does the disc lose it's original luster shine? Looks like the shine is a little duller. Have you done DVD's yet and what's the results of it? I'm experimenting right now without the machine. I was always told the disc are kind of delicate. Most of your scratches coming from removing the discs from the cases. I'm going to try that Klean Logic Scratch Away and see if it works. I think it works for light scratches.
Can you answer this, I seen a review on Amazon that says that sometimes if you were to file it down more than usual, the disc would get really thin and the foil will begin to wrinkle when you put it in whatever system you use because of the heat from the system. So I want to ask, have you tried using a disc for longer than an hour after resurfacing, basically after your system begins to heat up a bit, and did the disc stop working, or did you have no problems?
I just got a easy pro plus+ i have a question why mines leave swirls from the buffing pad? Is there something im doing wrong I would appreciate a answer thank you and great video
It's the bottles of polish/compound they give you, it sucks. Get Meguiar's(yes car care products lol) ultimate compound(replaces the white bottle) and ultimate polish (replaces blue bottle) no more swirls, most of the time I dont even use the sanding pads now.
Et Cetera or ekcetra? Perfect video instruction and content!
I got my JFJ today and was able to fix two games. I'm making digital backups of all my ps1 games by ripping them. And I came across a lot of discs in bad condition but only a few are not readable. I fixed 2 games that I was not able to back up at first. I then tried to fix copy of Tony Hawk 2, the game did also not back up but the opening fmv would play. I have resurfaced the game and the disc is shining if you look close there are swivel marks but the other games that were working again had them too. But still I am unable to rip Tony Hawk 2 and worse the opening fmv is now skipping and freezes. Also there seem to be tiny sparkling specs in the disc. So I don't know what the hell I am doing wrong.
Do you really need to add buffing compound to it everytime? Looks like the pad is saturated with it enough for multiple uses... just spray the disc down with water then buff again.
Have you been able to get good results on the Blu-ray disc for PS3 and PS4 games?
I work for company sell used DVDs and CDs and we always use these kinds of machines,
Hi,
I've just got one of these. Its 220v/60hz do you run it as is on UK mains?
How you get all of the micro scratches out?
How long should you keep using the buffing pad? As in how many times?
I have a question. On some of my disc the inner part doesn't looked buffed, have you had this issues?
So this machine does all discs? Blue Ray..DVD..gamecube?
Nik, Can you suggest any other Machines for cleaning Disc's as this seems to be NLA as is the Company from what I can gather :(
Have you had any game disc not actually reading before using this and then them working after use Nic? Very useful machine.
Yes plenty :)
Hi I am thinking about getting one of these machines: would like to know the price one of them will cost as I can’t find one in the uk area
I am getting a lot of swirl marks on my disc. Even after following directions any tips?
What grit of sandpaper was used? Thank you. 😊
Question if you don't have the game system. Let's say a PlayStation and the PlayStation game yesterday you are cleaning has a scratch you clean it and it comes out great. Would you sell the disk as like new condition or because you don't have a system would you sell as untested game no scratches. Thanks by the way watch all your videos but never comment. Keep up the great videos and I will keep watching :)
I don't test games if they are in excellent unscratched condition - likewise I don't tend to test games once they are repaired either
Notice the mark in the centre the screw leaves?
Hi nic. I know this is an old vid and you may not see the message. I've just bought a jfj and gone though a pile of scratched discs I had been saving up. How often do you need to replace the polishing foam discs? I've done about 30 games and they have worn down quite a bit already. Just wondering if that's normal or if I'm being too tight on the solution ?
I am too looking for a cheaper alternative to the original supplier pads - have you found any? The cost of each one makes repairing low priced discs uneconomical. I read online it is just an ultra fine foam but I am unable to find an alternative to the jfj version atm
Just to let you know you are doing it wrong you are supposed to only use the blue solution on the blue pad and the white solution on the white pad when you get the machine there are two new white pads included one for the blue and one for the white but once you apply the solution to both pads it's permanent for assistance if you apply the blue solution to one of the pads it will stain blue and you have to use the blue solution for that pad as same as the white solution
Will this do gamecube discs?
Hi I've just put an item on ebay for the first time and I've tried searching for it on a different phone to check it's gone up okay and I can't find it anywhere nor can I find my account when I search the user name can anyone help please?
What is the success rate of this machine
also should say if you have a disc with a scratch on the printed side of the disc.more than likely no good and can't be fixed.
impressive! so i take it these discs do NOT work before hand, and they DO work after treating them? (as opposed to the scratched disc does work beforehand, but ur just treating it so it looks more appealing).
also, with the Peppa Pig one, you tested it and it came on OK, but isn't there a chance that someone playing the game will get to a certain point LATER in the game and have an issue because of that little scratch that remained?
Some discs I repair are not working at all - others do work but I want to make them more saleable. Yes there is always the potential that a game may have a fault later on in the game... not much you can do about that, no way to play every game the whole way through!
@@NicHills you don't need to play them all the way through you can rip them to a computer and if the software doesn't throw you an error there shouldn't be any problem. Works for ps1, ps2. For the Wii I hear you can do it with a modded system. Same for the xbox(360).
Are you still happy with it?
What’s the difference between JFJ Pro 110v and 220v?
the voltage that goes to the machine your standard outlet at home would be at 110 otherwise known as 115 or 120 depending on what your circuit breaker has a 220 is a more higher voltage if you're plugging it into a regular outlet you're going to want the 110v
Hello Nic. This is a 2 year old video. Are you still using this?
why does that machine sound like its ready to blow up?
You still using this? Or something else. Plastic latch design looks like a sure break on short order. Wonder how long or how many discs its good for.
Where can you buy the white solution from?
Links in the description box above....
@@NicHills Thanks
Amazon or the jfj easy pro site
Will it work on Game Cube disks?
No you need an adapter. It's extra hard because of the size but you can try it
whats the red button for
The start button
CAN I ASK YOU IF YOU DO THE SAND PAPER FOR TOO LONG CAN IT TAKE THE GAME OFF THE DISC?????
How can i buy the jfj easy prow?😊🙂😉
The jfj easy pro site or Amazon. You can google them of course. Type it in and it'll come up
What type of cloth did you use to wipe off the compound?
It is a lens cleaner cloth from an opticians.
Does this work on the black discs ps1 and blue disc ps2
Yes
Sounds like its eating the cd..
My personal experience with JFJ is that the machine sucks. I have had 8 dvds that had a couple small hiccups while playing from a light scratch or two. So I bought the machine and a kit for it. I used a new buffing pad with the white compound. When done spray with anti static spray and wipe down with cloth provided and 8 out of 8 times the dvd player says "cannot play disc" and I have to buy the season for the bad disc. Not one time have I ever gotten it to successfully repair a disc, and all have bright and shiny finishes when cleaned. for all the money I spent on it, I could have just bought two of each DVD tv series and when a disc got scratched pitch it and use one from the backup series purchased. waste of time and money for me.
Once games go all digital we won't have to worry about scratched discs.
You’ll also never truly own your games, seems like a pretty sh*tty deal to me.
