Thanks for the responses. I do inspect before I buy, but the "white ring" is a new for me to look for.
Usually what I do with all my used records is I first fill the sink with warm soap and water. While the water is running I dip the playing surface in the water and with a large super soft water color brush I use circular motions in both directions to pre wash the lp before I go into the spin clean. Of course I rinse the soap off first. I always dry with super soft cotton towels and then I always use a new anti static sleeves.
As for static, I've never really had an issue, but I live in hot humid louisiana, so static doesn't really present itself.
