Any new record cleaning products?

Pablo16: The real break-thru is the use of steam to clean LPs with or without a record cleaning machine (RCM). Steam cleaning produces a recording that is significantly more listenable than only using a RCM .

Steam cleaning enters the deepest part of the record grove aiding in steaming out any foreign materals attached to the vinyl. Record cleaning fluids certianly enhanse the process anything from homebrew to $$$. Record cleaning fluids should do just that--clean records and thereafter be steam-washed off the disc. "Enzymatics" are inorganic subtances that are used to "breakdown" organic material so that other cleaners included in the mix can release them from the surface of the vinyl, a process that steam cleaning does very well on its own. If your interested give a look to the steam thread below. The equipment and cloths can be had for far less than what some audiofirms sell them for.

Try mintlp.com cleaning fluid. Request for a sample. I like it enough to replace RRL with it.

For those of you using the AI product, are you using the multi-step process, or the one-step process?

If the one-step is reasonably effective, I like the sound of that.

AIVS multistep (as Cello described it) works best for me, certainly better than RRL or Disc Doctor. Haven't tried steaming yet.

AIVS One Step works okay if you're in a hurry, but it doesn't do as good a job as the full process.
