The DVD-320 Disc Cleaner, priced at a suggested $14.99 retail, features an oversized and washable cleaning pad and an additional cleaning pad for longer life. Maxell is also offering a Combo Pack, the DVD-325, which consists of the DVD-LC Lens Cleaner and the DVD-320 DVD Disc Cleaner. Suggested retail for the DVD-325 is $19.99.

A DVD-335 Disc Repair Kit will repair up to 100 discs at a suggested $14.99 retail.

The new line is rounded out by the DVD-338 Cleaning Fluid, which cleans both discs and equipment. Bottles of 4-oz. spray have a $6.99 suggested retail, while DVD-305 lint-free cleaning cloths come in 50-packs at $6.99 suggested retail.

DVD-P4 Marker Pens, at $6.99 suggested retail, come in 4-packs of green, red, blue and black markers. These are ideal for use on DVD surfaces. The DVD-JC Storage Box, at a suggested $3.99 retail, can hold up to three discs each, and features an outer sleeve to hold movie jackets.
