Nothing wrong with the SOTA RCM (as far as I know), but for fluids I'd suggest you re-read Rushton's post. Any of the fluids he mentioned will outperform the NG fluid, as will the enzyme-based fluid system from MoFi. Old records long stored tend to pick up biological growths. Enzymes work well at removing those, better than anything else I've tried anyway.
how to clean old LPs
Hi , can someone help me on this :
I have hundreds of LPs , they have never been played for about 15 years , but , I put them in anti static sleeves either from Nagaoka or discwasher.
I found some to be still in good condition , but , some are looking not glossy anymore ( good vynil should look shiny isn't it )
I guess the problem lies in the bad material of the vynil? so they accumulated soft dust that make them looking dull..worse still , the sound is noisy.. and after we finished playing the dirty LP , the stylus accumulate the soft dust..
I once try clean it with Matrix cleaner from Clearaudio , but no luck..they are still dull and dirty
