Mofi Cleaners

I have been using the Mofi (RRL) Super Deep Cleaner, Super Record Wash and brushes with my VPI 16.5 for a while with good results. Initially, I cleaned my new LP's with only the Record Wash and saved the Deep Cleaner for older/used LP's. Eventually, I found that my results were better when using both products - even on the new LP's.

I've just ordered up bottles of the Mofi Enzyme and Pure Record rinse in the hopes of achieving better results. The directions for the Enzyme state to use a brush that has not come into contact with other cleaning products. I was hoping to use one of my older brushes for the Enzyme, and use a new brush with the rinse. Does anyone see a problem with this?

Has anyone tried combining the older Mofi cleaners with the newer stuff?

Roblanger-

My cleaning setup is similar-RRL (MoFi) SD and SW, MoFi brushes, VPI 16.5, etc. I also was able to try pre-production samples of the MoFi Enzyme and Pure, and the results were, in many cases, astonishing-and for the better. The bottom line is that I too am re-cleaning the whole damn collection. A lot of work, but believe me, worth it.

My regimen? I start with the SD (for thrift-store specials only), then SW, then Enzyme, then the rinse. I use a kitchen timer (3/4 minutes) for the enzyme so that I don't accidentally let the Enzyme dry on the LP.

Suggestions:

*I use a separate MoFi brush for each fluid, but remember that you can buy replacement pads for 5 bucks the pair to 'convert' your existing brushes.

*I bought 5 gallons of lab-grade reagent water for 60 dollars delivered to my door. This reduces the cost of the rinse cycle from 20.00 quart to 3.00 a quart, and it seems to be the equal of the MoFi.

Anyway, this works for me. Perhaps a bit excessive, but still a long, long way from the wacko Fremer Method outlined on his web site.
