Per Fremer, Onzow ZeroDust leaves a hard to remove residue:

Actually, PL warned a friend of mine who regularly posts on VA that ME leaves tangled fibriles on the stylus and cantilever. PL observed this on a cartridge my friend sent to him for evaluation. I use it nevertheless because I don't see the problem when I examine my cartridges under a microscope.

If you're old enough to have seen the Woody Allen movie "Sleeper", these shattering tidbits are reminiscent of the first scene of the movie, when Woody wakes up in a hospital (I think) after 200 years of suspended animation, to find that steak and eggs are health foods.  Actually, since that movie was filmed, eggs have been rehabilitated.

The Amazon ad doesn’t miss a trick. It’s a liquid cleaner with a brush. It also includes an”ultrasonic” cleaner with a UV light, What could go wrong?

I have a US cleaner, used it for years before one of the analog gurus decided it was no good due to the possibility of it destroying a coil...guess what, i still use it! Only problem is it has never really been able to get off all of the 'baked' on deposits. These are what i think are the biggest issue and I have yet to find a strong enough cleaner that truly gets this stuff off--although the LAST stylus cleaner was the best of the lot, albeit 'supposedly' migrating up the cantilever and being able to damage the glue that holds them together ( or some such thing).
