scrubbing lp with discdoctor brush and vpi 16.5

i have been getting mixed results with the vpi 16.5 and was wondering if I was not using the disc doctor brushes right.

I used the audio intelligent enzyme fluid then vacuum

I then used the audio intelligent cleaner fluid then vacuum

I then rinse with the distilled water from audio intelligent.

but how hard do you scrub with the disc doctor brush and what direction how hard do you press?

thanks

I buy only new records. I use the Audio Intelligent 3 step solutions, and I have tried steam cleaning too. But some records, no matter how prestine they look, no matter how long and how many times I cleaned them, they're just plain noisy, and I'm specifically talking about surface noise that's very apparent between two tracks. I know these noise that I heard is not due to my TT setup because I do have some LPs that are absolutely quiet.

So the thing you need to determine is, are you sure the "mixed results" you're getting is not due to the inherent flaw in the pressing itself?
