WD 40 to remove scratches on vinyl !


On You Tube, saw a guy wipe the surface of a vinyl, with WD 40 to remove sratches...  I dont know if it is a good thing to do for the stylus cartridge ?

The video is amazing.  Others have tried this and have found that it did eliminate almost all noise.  Unfortunately during play the stylus gets so much sludge deposited on it that even after multiple plays the stylus still dredges up gunk.  The reviewer stopped after 2 plays.  I don't think it's a good idea to use your stylus to clean up this mess.  There is a device called the sugar cube which apparently does a great job of removing pops and clicks without adding a noticeable sonic signature.
