how to clean vinyl lp with glue dirt

its all my own fault , can't blame my VPI 16.5 record clean machine , did not replace in time the drying tube with the velvet lips .Saw after cleaning 3 lp 's at both A and B sides at the same place in the first track a small glue ring ,noticed after hearing the cleaned record during a few seconds distortion . After this distortion all tracks no problem .After noticed the problem , cleand the needletip with alcohol and needletip cleaner . How can I clean the track with the glue , I 'm afraid the dirt is also in the groove and not only at the top of the groove. Any helpfull hints would be appreciated .

I recently noticed my Linn Basik manual (from Vinyl engine or someplace) says to simply use the needle to clean your records while playing them. I use a Spin Clean (an Okki Nokki is in my near future) though, but still, a pretty funny suggestion.

julian vereker of naim was opposed to record cleaning.the diamond digs out the dirt and you clean the stylus with a matchbook cover! once i was at a high fi show and a typical flat earth linn naim dealer cranked a naim amp -pre up to 100db and cleaned the stylus with  the official  flat earth matchbook strip with a dozen people in the room! yes, that was the flat earth dealer attitude back then!
