RRL Cleaner, Vinyl Zyme, and Groove Glide

Ok,

I was the guy who was unhappy with my vacumn cleaned records a few weeks ago and I think I found the answer.

After cleaning with super wash and regular wash, then vinyl zyme, then regular wash, then groove glide,(I know it is time consuming!), I got to tell all of you guys that my records are Dead Quiet and Detail has improved alot. The soundstage perspective is a little more like sitting in row 35 versus row 20, but the smoother detailed sound and presentation is nice.

Just thought I would let others know that I tried these products in case others of you are interested. Definitely worth the money spent.

No - I understand. I just couldn't bring myself to dish out $150 for a bottle of solution.

"Records cleaned with the other cleaners once recleaned sound like they had not been cleaned with the others."

Huh? Who's on first???

At $150 a bottle - this stuff had better do more than clean my vinyl!

I've been seriously considering using the RRL solutions. Currently my method is as follows:

1: Apply liberal amount of 2:1 Disc Doctor fluid with the DD brush
2: Gently scrub with the Nitty Gritty Bristle Brush (back and forth scrubbing - about 10 times)
3: Gently scub with the DD brush (back and forth scrubbing - about 10 times)
4: Wipe dry with 2-ply toilet tissue
5: Rinse with steam-distilled water applied with clean DD brush (back and forth scrubbing - about 10 times)
6: Remove rinse water with Nitty Gritty machine - about 4 revolutions

I've gotten satisfactory results using this method - adding the step with the bristle brush helped with some of the more stubborn records.
