Gruv Glide - Do you use it?

Hello AGONers,

I was just wondering if any of you use gruv glide or any similar product. I decided to purchase some on a whim and gave it a try on a few LPs. I used it on a few pressings that were used that I bought in the local record store. Even though I cleaned these with a spin clean and a KAB EV-1, they were still a bit noisy. I applied the gruv glide and it did reduce the background noise and static significantly. It seems to do a good job. I just worry about it leaving residue on my LPs and my stylus, which I know it does.

What do you guys think about this product and the pros and cons of it?

Thanks
Andy Price

I had a grado statement that was not running right. Brought it to my dealer, first thing he said was "I hope you don't use groove glide" and I did, it turned out it gunked up the cartridge so bad it was almost unusable.
He cleaned it all out real good then I had to go home and re clean all my records to get it off them. Took a good 2 years after I started using it to happen but it did. But all in all it really helped older records sound better,
And gave my $1 record pile new life
