I have used (and still use) RRL and Paul Frumkin's cleaner. After dozens of cleanings with Frumkin's and at least one hundred with RRL, I have decided that Frumkin's is best on older dirtier records with significant mold exposure. If I have a new album, or one that has already been reasonably cleaned, I will use RRL (standard, not the deep cleaner) because it is more convenient than the 2 part Frumkin approach. I guess I would opt to have both available for the optimal selection of cleaners.
Record Cleaner
There are a lot of cleaners on the market these days. Is there a consenus out there on what record cleaner does the best job?
Record washing does not seem to be an exact science sometimes a mint record is full of ticks and noise even after several washings. While others play great after after 1 wash. I have tried Nitty Gritty, VPI and UHF all good products but none yield consistant results.
Is there one that seems to give consistent results time after time?
