Groove Glide usage question....why 2 pads?


OK, I know what the directions say....but you gotta be tempted to just spray a light spritz on one pad and go with it, rather than rub it onto that second pad and waste it.

What's up with that? Don't they think we can restrain ourselves from soaking the pad, or is it a marketing trick to get us to use more Groove Glide?

I use both pads I use the second pad( patted not sprayed pad) to wipe after the first one. I feel the 1st pad treats the second cleans excess residue.
It would seem to me that the purpose of rubbing one pad against the other is to insure an even distribution of the spray. It seems to work well to me. The spray seems to last a really long time too, as I am still on the original can and have treated many records.
The second pad of the Gruv Glide kit is to diffuse the carrier (propellant) by aiding evaporation. The Gruv Glide product itself is supposed to go on dry. I've tried several methods of applying Gruv Glide. The one described in their instructions works best for me.I really can hear improvements depending on the record.

They have a website www.gruvglide.com that has a visual demo that might be useful.

I am in agreement with hfloyd2601, it's good stuff and has worked well for me for over 15 years.

Hope this helps.
