Pops and clicks at lead in grooves could be water residue left after the surface has dried.
My process:
Blow off surface debris using canned air
Spin Clean, using SC fluid
Nitty Gritty Vac dry
Result is clean records with great dynamics. In my case pops clics and background noise are reduced in amount and volume, but still present.
I am thinking of changing to an enzyme cleaner, and adding a rinse step before vac dry.
The SC definitely works as intended, but may need additional steps to effectively clean all records. The SC is probably best used as a scrubber, rather than an all-in-one device.
