White cloudy film on inside groove of an LP


I received two new albums from an Internet music retailer which are from Simply Vinyl. Both of these albums have a whitish clear film on the last track on the second side that reminds me of a coating. In fact, I thought that it was a complementary coating from the record dealer. Unfortunately, the coating has a very crunchy dirty sound when the needle gets to it. It is very frustrating. I talked to the dealer who said that he does not have a clue of what it is. The rest of the record plays and sounds fine. Has anyone else had this experience? The last time that I went to Ambrosia Audio I showed it to the guys there they have never seen this before. I have even tried to clean it with window cleaner. It is just odd that it is on two records on the last track and into the out grooves. Can anyone help?

Thank you all for the replies to this issue. Mr. Porter, if you are willing to send me a sample of this fluid, I would like to try it first before I try the more radical suggestions.
I am a little concerned that both of these LP's are from Simply Vinyl and have the same issue. I am wondering if any one else is having issue with this particular label in any other ways. I have not bought an LP in 15 years so I am not truly up to speed yet but I am trying. Mr. Porter, I will contact you offline with my email and address. Thank you again. Dale
