Spin Clean seems to add noise to records?

I have both a Spin Clean and a Nitty Gritty. Both work fine and, while the Nitty Gritty may well do a somewhat better job overall, certainly the Spin Clean is more "economically efficient." Sliding the LP between the two cleaning pads on the Spin Clean does make me nervous, but I've never noticed any actual damage from doing so. As for drying the LP at the end of Spin Cleaning, I first leave the LP perched at the top of the cleaning pads for a few moments to drain after withdrawing the LP from between the pads. I then blot both sides of the LP on a 12x12 cleanroom wipe ( http://www.uline.com/BL_8470/Kimtech-Pure-Cleanroom-Wipes ) which I've laid over a couple of layers of paper towels. (NEVER directly blot with a paper towel! Many paper towels will leave a residue, typically titanium dioxide.) Then, with the LP still on the cleanroom wipe, I'll dry the LP with the cheese cloth wipe per the Spin Clean instructions. Lastly, I'll wave the LP in the air (carefully!) for several seconds to finish drying it and then place it in a new high-quality record sleeve.

The Nitty Gritty, of course, doesn't have the same drying challenges that a Spin Clean has. And I've never noticed any increase in surface noise from either cleaner, and I'd be upset if I did. But then I'm usually working with new or very little played LPs for commercial remastering and release.

Most users think, cleaning (whatever way) is the way to go and forget the next step.
I think, this is wrong, cleaning is more or less simple, the real - sonic - step ahead is the way to remove everything from the grooves. Here are the real differences.

I have heard of one person using it and getting a static build up after wiping it post using the spin clean. It cant generate static when wet, but your dry routine may be inducing static on the record. Just my 2 cents. Hope you find a solution.

I second Actusreus's seconding! ;-)

The OP's experience of music that's more alive, with more jump, with more low level detail BUT with a slightly noisier record surface is what I hear on many cleaned records. Vinyl surfaces often contain microscopic imperfections that are masked by trace substances. Thorough cleaning removes the mask, making both noise and the fullest range of music more audible.

If you don't hear this, you either haven't removed all foreign substances or your sytem/ears lack the resolution to reveal it. I've had friends visit with supposedly clean LPs that sounded quite dull. When I re-clean them using my RCM and methods, the musical result is always startling (despite a slight increase in background noise).

FWIW, my somewhat insane cleaning regimen requires 20-25 minutes/side and was developed during beta testing/comparing RCM fluids from 4 competitors. It's not for the impatient, lol.

Rebbi's statement of how Gruv Glide works is also correct, IME. If a dead quiet background is all you care about, it's effective... provided you don't mind missing half the music. Personally, I can accomplish that by listening to second rate CDs for a lot less money and with a lot less hassle.

One additional thought. With any cleaning method, I've found that some clicks and pops are removable only with an enzyme cleaning solution. Of the 3 brands I've tried, AIVS Enzymatic gives me the best results.
