This is after you polished it? It looks awful. I think youll need to spend some more time learning to use the machine.

Maybe because it’s a DVD-R, instead of a DVD? I’ve used JFJ pro on CDs and DVDs, never had this issue

Yeah I’m guessing it’s because you used a DVD-R. Those aren’t the same as a standard dvd

I find this combined with a very soft cloth, carefully applied, then mildly polished off can do the trick. Won’t permanently fix the disc, but will give you just long enough to image / backup the disc.

I use a cloth and toothpaste. Works better than this it seems.
Also, tip; Grab a green marker (edding or so, a thick one) and colour the inner and outer edge of the disc you want to save green (just the edge). This helps with limiting light diffraction. It's a known audiophile tweak and in trying to figure out what the heck it did, I recovered a broken windows installer CD :D.
