When cleaning vinyl - what to use for

Know what you mean about the Hunt. However, I do use one for newly purchased used lps to LIGHTLY brush off the loose dirt and pet hairs.

I also use those cheapy brushes for wetting and spreading the first cleaning solution. I use a foam paint pad with the little hairs for the second solution. Then I use the mfsl brushes for lightly scrubbing with the final solution. Then I use another cheapy brush for whatever rinse I use. Vacuuming between each solution, naturally.

I heard from several folks I trust that spreading with the Audioquest carbon fiber brush work very well for them. The bristles are very fine and seem to get deep in the grooves. Haven't tried it yet, but it's on my todo list.

Thanks guys. I do use a Hunt for dry cleaning prior to playing. Want to get a manual/vacuum unit for wet cleaning. Just trying to think through some of the steps and recommended accessories.

This thread is an oldie but a goodie:

I use LAST Power Cleaner w/LAST brushes to initially clean the LP then store it in a brand new MoFi sleeve.
Then each side gets washed on the TT before playing using Discwasher D4 with Discwasher brush.
To clean the stylus I use Onzow Zerodust.
Seems to be all that's needed.....as far as I can tell... I just recently joined the vinyl camp, so I would appreciate if anyone has any suggestions as well.
Thanks.

Walker is just now shipping newly devised brushes for the three steps of his Prelude. I just got some but haven't tried them yet. They look good but I can't vouch for any special effectiveness. I have found that stubborn spots will elude all but the most vigorous scrubbings. For stubborn spots I use a stylus brush with liquid of some sort, following up with the usual wet vacuuming. I've heard that vinyl is not impervious to such scrubbings but I haven't noticed anything audible.
