Record cleaning fluids


Hi again guys.

I usually use a Clearaudio cleaning fluid in my Clearaudio Smart Matrix. Some people says that this liquid produces static problems on records.

Sometimes I've to clean two or three times some records that it is supposed to be cleaned, because they are new ones or in mint condition.

Do you know a better cleaning fluid for the use in machines? Wich is the best?

Thanks a lot for your opinions.

I think, there is no "best" fluid. A lot of users think, to remove some dirt out of the grooves, NASA science is neccessary. There are so many fluids out there and honestly, they do the job. Some use multi step fluids and think, that's it. But when you use other fluids 4x, you will get same results :-)
At the end of day, the secret is the removal out of the grooves. Point nozzle is unsurpassed, but it needs time. AIVS, L'Art du Son, VPI, Walker, MFSL...use what gives you the best feeling :-)
(With modern records which have damaged grooves, tics and pops, nothing really helps. That's the way it is)
