Anyone use a Pledge "Grab-it" on their vinyl?
I use it. It works great. Just make sure you use the DRY type. Those work on static alone. They also have the WET type, which is pre-soaked with Pledge. I found that they work better than the record brush. After a cleaning with my VPI 16.5, I give the record a go-round with the Grab-it. I wrap it around one of those Discwasher Padded brush as well. |
Cp: Saturday Audio Exchange was the place that i was referring to, specifically the store in down town Chicago and not in Evanston. If you have been there before, please take note that they have recently relocated. They are still putting the place together, so you might want to call first and see if they can do this for you before heading down there with an armfull of vinyl. Ask for either Andy or Randy. If you have a good sized collection of vinyl, why not put the individual dollar per disc towards your own machine ? It would be cheaper in the long run and you could probably do a better, more intense job than what anyone else would offer. This is not to mention the fact that you could do it whenever you wanted to i.e. when you buy new discs, find used discs, etc.. right in the convenience of your own home. The only time that paying someone else to clean discs for you would be beneficial is if you had a very small vinyl collection. A quick yet manual scrubbing and then a thorough rinse with a cheaper vacuum machine will always work better than an automated clean / rinse / vacuum on a more expensive machine. Sean > |
