Ok, guys, I'm a cheap b-stard on a limited budget, so I've been hand-cleaning my lps with home brew solution recommended by someone at vinyl asylum (distilled water, isopropyl alcohol, a dab of Dawn blue), scrubbed on with Magic Brush, and wiped clean with micorfiber towel. Rinsed in plain distilled water. I'm wondering if the RRL products can be used manually in this way? Will they get more deep groove gunk out than the home brew? I have no budget (or inclination for that matter) to invest in an expensive machine, figuring that if I spend $.50 - $5 on a record and can't get it clean cheaply then I'll just trade it back to used lp store or leave it at the community swap table at the dump. Thanks for your replies.
Record Cleaner
There are a lot of cleaners on the market these days. Is there a consenus out there on what record cleaner does the best job?
Record washing does not seem to be an exact science sometimes a mint record is full of ticks and noise even after several washings. While others play great after after 1 wash. I have tried Nitty Gritty, VPI and UHF all good products but none yield consistant results.
Is there one that seems to give consistent results time after time?
