Will an RCM make the Rice Krispies go away?


The two step RRL cleaning process and my Nitty Gritty make a big improvement in lowering record noise and enhancing clarity. However, there are some records that still have varying degrees of "snap, crackle and pop"! Is this residual dirt, a damaged record, a manufacturing defect? I'm thinking about investing in a Loricraft but am wondering if this instrument will cure the cereal syndrome.

A corresponding issue is the greater degree of noise on initial tracks. I notice the closer the record is to the end, the less noise. Does anyone else find this unusual?

As always, your insight is most appreciated.

Even when I use a cleaning machine, sometimes hand washing is far more effective, I have used the hand held shower wand on a higher pulse setting then finished cleaning as usual and it has really helped with used records...........its a more time consuming process for sure.
I have had some luck with steam cleaning and the removal of those damn ticks. It can take 4 or 5 cleanings. Each time knocks more of the pops out.
Thank you everyone for the suggestions...I think. Actually, I was hoping to throw some $$ at the problem and sail off into listening heaven. I'm certainly willing to put forth some effort but, showering and steam cleaning???

Maybe establishing realistic expectations would be in order at this point. What percentage of new albums can be cleaned so they are relatively listenable? Same question for used albums. My experience is approx. 80% for new albums and about 50% for used. Probably 40% of the albums I have are unlistenable. Sure would like to resurrect these babies.
A good enzyme cleaner will take care of most pops and ticks. when cleaning ecords in bad shape, the enzyme should be left on for 5 to 10 minutes.
