Davelash, while I'm not familiar with using the Nitty Gritty fluid, what you describe sounds to me like a classic case of needing more rinse with distilled water after using the cleaning fluid. From your description, it seems like you've diagnosed this correctly as evaporated liquid that has some content that's being left behind. Whenever I've experienced that with various cleaning fluids, better rinsing seems to cure it.
Help cleaning LPs, residue left behind
i've started noticing a ?residue? on the outer edge and dead wax of some of the records i clean. its on records cleaned with and without a rcm, with and without water. the spots look like evaporated liquid perhaps, and they take up the area between the grooves, but do not run up to the grooves themselves. i am using nitty grittys formula 2, last 3 and nano-pure/milli-q water. any advice? am i using too much, too little, is the water too pure? is this normal? whats the deal?
