Disc Doctor's Quick Wash............apply and vac.
What to use if I just want one cleaning fluid?
I'm willing to consider distilled water as a post cleaning rinse fluid (g). But if I'm going to use a VPI cleaner for my disks, and I want to use just one over-the-counter fluid to clean both new and old records in an acceptably effective manner, what should I use?

I highly recommend RRL (Record Research Labs) Super Record Wash. It cleans very well, and does not require rinsing. Mobile Fidelity recently purchased the brand name, so now it has been rebranded as Mobile Fidelity Super Record Wash. Mobile Fidelity Super Record Wash My two cents worth! |
Another good product to seriously consider, would no doubt be Audio Intelligent Vinyl Soultions #6 One Step Cleaner. While I haven't yet personally used this particular Cleaner, I use all the other Cleaning Fluids they make, and am more than pleased with them. I believe they are still running a special on thier entire product line till the end of this month. Mark |
Pick a brand name. They are far more alike than different. Only marketing sets them apart. You'll read all sorts of posts favoring this fluid or that fluid but the simple fact is you're cleaning plastic discs not a cashmere sweater. Most are 99% water, a little surfactant, and maybe a drying agent. Some add a little snake oil. For 20 years I've been using a wash developed for me by a chemist who worked for the same company I did. My records are as clean and probably cleaner than the next guy. Far more important IMO are the brushes, vacuum, and time taken to clean the vinyl. Steaming is a good tool as well. YMMV |
