Anyone use a Pledge "Grab-it" on their vinyl?

The Pledge on the grab-it will eventually get on and build up on your stylus causing more dust to be attracted on to it resulting in degraded sound.

After reading your post I tried it. "DON'T DO IT"!!!
I ruined 2 perfectly good records. It smeared the sound, left a film, and I now have sludge on my Goldring Eroica.

I intentionally did not use my best/favorite records. I'm always open to try new things for better sound & performance. This is not one of them.

Hope this helps. Sean & Ligi are right (as usual).

Hififile, do you have a record cleaning machine ? I'm sure that the records could be salvaged with some elbow grease. You might be able to take them into a record shop or audio shop and have them cleaned. I know an audio shop here in Chicago charges $1 per album, which might be WELL worth it in most cases. Then again, if you've got a big vinyl collection, the investment in a record cleaning machine would pay for itself. Sean

Hififile - if you do not have access to Sean's suggestion than clean the record with a grease cutting detergent like Dawn and warm water to get the Pledge grease off - don't overdo the Dawn thing - let it dry by wiping gently with a light smooth cloth and air dry.

I used the dawn & carefully washed the 2 affected records. After they dried I reapplied Gruv-Glide (my usual treatment). I'm not sure I got all the Pledge product off. I think I will stick to just plain old Gruv-Glide which I've used for nearly 15 years, with consistant, predictable results.
