@rvpiano,
Being a bit a more pragmatic - a UV light can sometimes indicate debris that you will not be able to see with ’white’ light. and assist those aging eyes. This unit has good power for the inspection - only expose the record to the UV light for a few seconds for the inspection to prevent any damage and do not view the light with your eyes directly - https://www.amazon.com/Alonefire-Flashlight-Blacklight-Rechargeable-Protective/dp/B08FX7SQ3D/ref=pd_.... You may find that the offending item is nothing more than a strand of hair.
Some debris/particle can prove very difficult to remove - using your VPI vacuum RCM - you may require some aggressive brushing to dislodge. Its not about putting a lot of pressure on the brush, its about moving the brush back & forth quickly to get the cleaning fluid to develop enough agitation to free the debris and float it so that the vacuum can remove.
Hopes this helps,
