Gruv Glide. How many use it?

After using it on clean records the stylus would be clogged/caked with dust and other build up.
This happened only after the application of Gruv Glide.

I've been collecting since 1957 and none of my 5000+ records have never been or ever will be treated with Mobil 1 or some other preposterous "groove lubricant". 99% of them are totally free of pops, clicks, and noise despite in some cases thousands of playings.

Clean your records thoroughly, use quality/properly aligned hardware, and just listen.

Remember when STP was a heaven sent supplement to your car's crankcase oil? The only benefit was Andy Granatell's swelling wallet from profits.

Many people hear what they want to hear but it was snake oil then and it's snake oil now.

STP yeah as kids we used to put that stuff on our bikes to make them "go faster" but in the end the chain, wheel bearings and other parts just became a gunky mess of dirt and grease. Man that stuff was viscous!

I would not apply groove glide unless you have a rather crakley, or extra noisey album.. It then can help a lot to get the one not so perfect surface noise to reduce and sometimes eliminate, many times applying it will just make the album bearable to listen. With good albums that have little issue, a good solid cleaning with distilled rinse is the best for it and normally the best sounding, then leave the groove glide alone unless you must go into battle with a more nasty contender, it can work, and sometimes it can't help enough, but for the 25 bucks or whatever it is it could be good to have some on hand, again I would not go treating every album if they already sound nearly perfect.
