Guster08, same problem here! I "cleaned?" five this a.m. and they still sound a little ticky, if not worse. I'm following the same instructions as you, even steaming with the 'perfection steamer'. The snap crackle and pop that I hear in the before-cleaning is softer, but I think the MUSIC is as well! Could be this "residue" you're talking about. Maybe, along with the instructions from Ncarv, we need to get the cleaning brushes from DD. Right now I'm using a small, round shoe-polishing brush with natural bristles, and I scrub a third of the record at a time in a back and forth method. Then I steam off the cleaner as well as I can until the water(purified)beads up on the record. I then do a once-around with a round yellow microfiber pad, that i think is used for car polishing, to sop up most of the water. I'm also thinking about buying the anti-static brush, as I think with all the scrubbing and wiping there is a static build-up. My zerostat gun is very old, and probably ineffective. Just trying to stave off the purchase of these expensive vacuum machines!
Good luck man
