Just distilled water and alcohol. It's not. How cheap. I was under the impression that it was something special. Especially considering you don't get new cloths. They don't even include the little buffing square and polishing cloth. As others say, this is nothing special.
However, for professional use, (i.e., those who use it more than a few times a year), there are much better products. I used the Skip Dr. 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'm currently using the JFJ Easy Pro Repair System, also available on Amazon. products for a couple of years. They do an adequate job for the average user.
This gadget has already paid for itself by renovation some DVDs so they can be reused.
Distilled would be best and is way cheaper than buying this solution. To edge polycarbonate (the same material disks are made of) straight water is used. This solution is only filtered water and a tiny bit of isopropanol alcohol. 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.
The comments about making your own are irrelevant - if you get the concentration wrong you'll screw up your discs big time. I've been using my manual crank Skip Doctor with this fluid for years & have had great results. Other online retailers carry it for a lot less but hefty shipping charges.
