On You Tube, saw a guy wipe the surface of a vinyl, with WD 40 to remove sratches... I dont know if it is a good thing to do for the stylus cartridge ?
Last Record Cleaner is still available from The Last Factory, as well as some audio retailers. It is expensive, but works to remove all the grit and grain of new or (some) original pressings. Most of my records are already "Last'd" (I have been using it since the late '60's). But it DOES NOT remove scratches. So far as I know nothing does.
Lets just say that putting WD 40 on records actually helped smooth out the grooves (and I'm not saying that!) anyone want to take a crack at what kind of damage might WD40 do to the stylus/cartridge? :-)
