Since you didn't go through your entire process, forgive me if I ask:
1. Do you sop up the excess DD fluid with lint-free toilet tissue before rinsing? The DD himself recommends Scott.
2. Do you use a separate brush to rinse, with distilled water?
3. Do you rinse your rinse brush after each record side? I have a two sectioned Tupperware container. One half has distilled water. I slide the face of the rinse brush across the divider to squeegee the fluid into the empty section, then drop into the other side which has the distilled water, press it to the bottom, and swish it around, then squeegee again.
4. After rinsing, do you also sop up the excess water before putting in the dishrack?
I've found the DD fluid and process to be excellent and cleans better than my VPI 17, though I do admit to using the VPI for most records because it is not as labor intensive, and I do use it to skip the dishrack drying.
If an LP doesn't turn out that good after a cleaning on the VPI, I resort to the good ol' DD.
