You have to be a little careful with the Hunt brush. As Consttraveler said, a very light touch. Until you get a feel for it, basically just use the weight of the brush only, using your hand just to guide it.
If you push too hard while sweeping the stuff radially off the record, the pad in the middle will smear stuff across the grooves and may even scuff the record. It's a great brush but handle with care.
BTW, I find a lint roller excellent for cleaning the crud off mine. Not the kind of lint roller with peal-off sticky layers, that might leave glue on the Hunt. This roller has a permanent surface that you wash to remove the lint. Works like a charm.
