Gruve Glide


Does anybody know exactly what this stuff is made of ? I just picked up a Vpi HW16.5 machine and a can of the Gruve Glide. This has shown some amazing results to my old collection. But the Gruv Glide smells like silicone. I was wondering if there was a generic product that would be less than $26 a can.

I was wondering about the Gruv Glide's performance. I just bought Pink Floyd's WYWH on the Sony/Cbs Mastersound issue. The record has some loud pops. Just wondering which way to go for cleaning Disc Doctor and their brushes or Gruv Glide? Hey Scottht it has always worked for me, hear all that detail!
Is it OK to use this product without vacuum cleaning? Music Direct suggets vacuuming first then Gruv-Glide. I do not have a vacuum machine, any other ideas?
GroovMaster? Huh? Please elaborate. I must confess the most extensive cleaning I have done is using the Discwasher brush with some anti-static cleaner, rotating the platter(when off) and applying pressure. I would slowly roll the brush up lifting the dirt off the record. this was effective with paper debris, but not deep into the groove. I am sure this will solidify my newbie status and might even result in expulsion from the hallowed halls of audiophilia. I tried the Orbitrac but was not that impressed. I guess my question of next upgrade has been answered! Vacuum it is
Dougdeacon, I have heard of this same type of contraption, called a UFO. No, not out at Area 51 either. I will go to E-bay immediately!
