Kirmuss users, what do you find?


I bought a nearly new Kirmuss record "restoration" system from a widow of an audiophile. 


I mostly wanted it for the machine, but had to try his method just out of curiosity. 
I followed the instructions, apart from the "Aftercare" section, which was influenced by the AudioPhile Man review (pt 2)


I got YUGE globs of stuff on my stylus after playing just 1 side of a "restored" record. OK, maybe I’ve not cleaned it enough? The record went back in for 2 more cleanings with the surfactant and ultrasonic bath for 5 min each time. Still ended up with a ball of something on my stylus. 

I next used my other method, which was to scrub up a different record with some Audio Intelligent #6, 5 min ultrasonic bath, then dried with the Record Doctor. 
Just a touch of lint (probably airborne that landed on the record) after 1 side. 

I will say the sound of the record was noticeably improved with the Kirmuss chemicals, but I feel that this substance is NOT being completely removed with the ultrasonic bath. 

Any users out there that can share their experience?

I have had the same experience will not use isopropyl or his  chemicals again.
