Mofi Cleaners

I have been using the Mofi (RRL) Super Deep Cleaner, Super Record Wash and brushes with my VPI 16.5 for a while with good results. Initially, I cleaned my new LP's with only the Record Wash and saved the Deep Cleaner for older/used LP's. Eventually, I found that my results were better when using both products - even on the new LP's.

I've just ordered up bottles of the Mofi Enzyme and Pure Record rinse in the hopes of achieving better results. The directions for the Enzyme state to use a brush that has not come into contact with other cleaning products. I was hoping to use one of my older brushes for the Enzyme, and use a new brush with the rinse. Does anyone see a problem with this?

Has anyone tried combining the older Mofi cleaners with the newer stuff?

Should I be using a different vacuum pick up tube for the SDC/SRW than the Enzyme/Pure?
Yes, especially for the final rinse.

Has anyone tried using the Mofi SDC and SRW between the Enzyme and final rinse, or is this totally counter-productive?

The reason I ask......

I had a coupon for record cleaning products to use by 12/31....and after the horror of finding white stains on my 45rpm Blue Note re-issues that weren't there when I first got the LP's, I felt compelled to stock up on the cleaning supplies. The SDC and SRW did very little :(

The person at MD steered me away from the Premier cleaner, but then informed me that he ofter uses the following cleaning routine: enzyme-SDC-SRW-rinse, as well as SDC-SRW-rinse. I ended up only buying an extra bottle of rinse (along with replacement pads and VPI pickup tubes)but his suggestion seemed to counter the conventional wisdom previously posted on this forum.

I'm hoping the Enzyme (or perhaps a bit of alchohol)will be effective in removing some of these damn stains....otherwise I'll go back to the idea of trying the Premier :(
