So now opinions on cleaning products and how many processes do you use?
There is a claim from one manufacturer regarding the enzymes that are used in most cleaning products that is, these enzymes have a short shelf life so the gallon of fluid you made up last year in not as effective or even useless,
True or false?
I found the joy of steaming using a VPI for the initial cleaning (applying the fluid) then adding steam before the vacuum and then a polish with a micro fiber cloth.
For my cherished vinyl the third step is second cleaning using TTVJ Gold spray and more steam before a final vacuum and a micro fiber polish.
I have also tried the Gruv Glide on some noisy LPs but I am skeptical about the results I did not hear a discernable difference in the reduction of noise.
This has been covered in various threads with opinions on both sides . me I gotta go with Didnt hurt, but didnt work opinion
But the steam I am sold on, that process really did quiet down certain problem LPs I had.
I do still have massive static problems (Living in Florida) sometimes I lift an LP from the deck and POP! As the charge hits the stylus.
I guess a Zero stat gun would be one way to go unless there are other suggestions.
I was considering replacing felt strips on the VPI pick up tube with some micro fiber cloth any thoughts?
