Anybody using the last record preservative

Back in the early '80s I started using last record preservative now here 40 whatever years later just picked up another bottle because I noticed all my new records have a lot of noise with the exception of a few analog Productions and some Rhino records are pretty quiet but the most have a lot of surface noise long story short picked up a new bottle of last record preservative put it on one of my records and OMG the difference is amazing my system nowadays is way more resolving than it used to be noise floor has dropped into the basement and the musical and the music has jumped to the foreground

There's a guy on Youtube who uses WD-40 with similar results.

Last power cleaner on new albums followed by applying Last Record Preservative since 1977.  Put the album in a static proof sleeve and then put a plastic sleeve over each album jacket. They remain in mint condition. Takes some effort but it’s worth it. Still purchasing vinyl on a regular basis.

I have a few cans of GruvGlide, which I don't use. I bought them many years ago when I thought they might be a good idea. They do smell delicious though, and if I ever get into huffing they might be useful.

I have been using it for years. Always clean a new record. I alway ultra sonically clean my records.

Maybe 3 in 1 oil would be less volatile than WD40 and have less overspray.
