Record-playing Rituals?

I tried clicking my heels together but I fell over and scratched the record. Say, where can I get a ruby-colored ZeroStat? This orangey-red thing works great but it is sooo ugly.

1. Clean record with VPI HW16 and custom made fluid. Thorough scrubbing if needed.
2. Treat record with Zerostat with Staticmaster brush 2x.
3. Clean stylus with custom fluid and Diswasher stylus cleaning brush.
4. Treat stylus with Stylast.

Fetishist? Perhaps. However, I have many 40+ year old records that play very clean, and I only have to change my stylii when I want to.

Where do I get something like "Scratchfixer" that contains molybedum sulfide?

Thanks, Robert

I use the Vpi HW 16.5. Actually, I just got it today. Really nice machine. But I also picked up a can of Gruv Glide. This seems like really incredible stuff. Can I do better?
