Home brew vinyl & stylus cleaning fluids?

for vinyl using 50%denatured alcohol 50%distilled water(deionized)with 6 drops of kodak photoflow per gallon. cartridge very periodically wet clean, regular clean with a very fine sandpaper given to me by my linn tech. kurt

Rcreations, are you talking about like 600 grit sand paper or even higher, like 1000 grit? Thanks.

Keep in mind sandpaper releases grit from the paper. That's how sandpaper works. I have used the little brush that came with the Shure V15V-MR with a drop of 90% alcohol on the stylus tip only and it has worked very well for nearly 20 years. YES-20 YEARS!
