Know what you mean about the Hunt. However, I do use one for newly purchased used lps to LIGHTLY brush off the loose dirt and pet hairs.
I also use those cheapy brushes for wetting and spreading the first cleaning solution. I use a foam paint pad with the little hairs for the second solution. Then I use the mfsl brushes for lightly scrubbing with the final solution. Then I use another cheapy brush for whatever rinse I use. Vacuuming between each solution, naturally.
I heard from several folks I trust that spreading with the Audioquest carbon fiber brush work very well for them. The bristles are very fine and seem to get deep in the grooves. Haven't tried it yet, but it's on my todo list.
