cleaning with VPI 16.5 and Mobile Fidelity brushes


Do you like to apply fluid directly on the record, or on the brush?

I use the same as you do, with AIVS Cleaning Fluids.

I usually dribble a little of the cleaner forst onto the brush pad. Then I do just squirt the cleaners-rinses directly to the records. Some might say this isn't advisable, but I act quickly, the fluids get applied, and the machine, and brushes go into action quickly, so I feel there's no harm done.

About the only minor dislike one might note with the Mo Fi, or Disc Doctor Brush Pads, is that one will use a bit more fluids to first prime-wet the pads, but in my instance, I never just clean a few, I'll usually do from 12-15 records minimum before I throw in the towel, and call it a day.

just make sure you label your brushes, so you don't mic-match fluids, and brushes when doing multi-step processes. Mark
