Record Cleaning Machine Fluid

Another vote for the revised AIVS solutions. Our experience parallels Markd51's and Musicamaniac's exactly.

Removing the residue Musicmaniac referred to has literally been the equivalent of a full component upgrade. Our records were clean and silent before, but until we recleaned them with AIVS we had no idea how much of the music was being smothered. Top votes for the new AIVS and Jim Pendleton's work.

I am only using AIVS (a recent shipment) steps 1 and 2.

am I really missing something not using step 3? WHat the heck is step4?

Hi Richard,

I guess you missed my post on the other thread. Here it is:

Hello Richard,

There have been some users, particularly those who had been using a formula containing a lubricant, that have found the use of an additional cleaning step and the Ultra-Pure rinse to be of use in removing the lubricant. Lubricants are even more difficult to remove than release compounds. Under normal conditions on reasonably clean records, your methodology should be fine. Varied circumstances in record cleaning is the primary reason for several formula choices. Best wishes

Some are using the Enzymatic, Super Cleaner, Premium Archivist, and Ultra-Pure, in that order because of the reasoning above, and are having results that they are happy with. There are other methods that can be used as well. I would be happy to discuss them with you if you like. Best regards.
