GroOove Lube. Does it work?

Gearheads? Sounds good in theory. Surfactant: Surfactants are compounds that lower the surface tension of a liquid, the interfacial tension between two liquids, or that between a liquid and a solid. Surfactants may act as detergents, wetting agents, emulsifiers, foaming agents, and dispersants.

However I find myself skeptical of products that may add coloration or stylus buildup/degradation over time. Give us your thoughts.

I was really pissed a LONG time ago, when I had even less sense than I do now.

I was mad and couldn't figure out how to keep records clean...and noise free.

In the process of ruining a stylus, I discovered that Armor All worked like a champ, ZERO surface noise and it sounded great.

Don't do it, at least with Armor All.

I would stay away from ANY product that may leave a residue on the record.

Groove Lube, Stylast, etc.

Junk junk junk.

Clean records thoroughly and align tonearm precisely.

End of story.
