Most powerful fluid for record cleaning machine ?


Just purchased a Loricraft PRC-3. What is the most effective cleaning fluid at the moment ?

On our PRC-3 we use:

1. Micro-Care Premier + Loricraft brush
2. RRL Deep Cleaner + DD brush (very important)
3. RRL Vinyl Wash + DD brush #2

Play and inspect sonics and stylus for evidence of cleanliness or otherwise. If additional cleaning is indicated (maybe 30% of all records):

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3, scrubbing harder

If still further cleaning is indicated:

5. Smart Developments foaming cleaner and/or AIVS, depending on a (mostly uninformed) guess as to what's still on this stupid record.

AIVS cleans well IME, but the samples I have will not rinse thoroughly. I'm apparently one of the few having that problem, so Paul Frumkin is sending new samples. I'm hoping they rinse as well as everyone else's seems to.

Congrats on the Loricraft, it's a fine machine.
