Follow-up on the brush... so I can't find anything here that isn't bundled with a $35 'baby kit' so wondering what brush you got maybe from amazon or something similar? I tried a goat hair brush but I think it's *too* soft... the one you are using looks better... I am going to try the toothbrush!!! Thanks!!

Hi there. I've stopped using the babies hair brush after doing a review video and seeing what the effects are under a microscope. While it is safe under wet washing conditions I've started using a synthetic brush that is very safe and very effective as a cleaning tool. Here's the brush: Nylon Art Brush: amzn.to/4bTmATW While you're at it check the testing video: kzitem.info/news/bejne/z5WkvmSNhICpZKw

I did found a very scratched 1955 Sarah Voughan LP, placed in a poor cover, in a flea maket. After a cleaning process of 24 hours, leaving the vinyl immersed in the cleaning liquid and using a cheap manual rotating cleaner, I did get some results: Side 1 became very quiet, with almost no crackling and crystal clear sound; side 2, however, retains some crackling, but above all it loops in two places due to a marked transversal scratch....The good thing is that this record was given to me for free.

A couple of things: You need to include some kind of soap to break the surface tension. The water doesn't go into the groove of your record otherwise, and you're just cleaning the outer surface. Secondly, rather than blowing your record dry with a hair dryer, get yourself a wet/dry vacuum cleaner. Stick a cloth over the nozzle and suck your record dry. If you use a little soap in your washing process, the water will get into the grove and soften up the grime there. The wet/dry vac will suck all that out and you can see it collect on the cloth that you stick over the vacuum nozzle. You'll hear the difference when you play the record. Cheers

Was a vinyl DJ since 1980, to around 2005 when I switched to digital. This is how I cleaned all of my records. It works, and it doesn't damage the vinyl. It is also very cheap, and that is why audiophiles and audio companies hate it, because they can't sell you some £3000 vinyl cleaning machine, and rip you off.

Nice work mate, Where abouts in Australia are you ? I'm in Sydney and have an extensive vinyl collection too. I'm a huge Queen Fan and have a large Queen collection, which comprises of rare 1st press UK, Japanese (with OBI) and Australian releases among many others. I have noticed the "white" jacketed albums don't fair well in high humid climates and those primarily from Japan tend to suffer foxing of the sleeve. Not sure if it's a moldy condition but I'd love to figure out how to remove the foxing if at all possible. I wonder if a hydrogen peroxide concoction can work. I'll have to try it on a sacrificial cover I think. Thankfully though, most of my Jap vinyl was stored correctly by the previous owners and are in almost mint condition. I just have a few that need attention. No big deal really. It is what it is given they are nearly 50 years old I guess.

I don't know why you need 1% isopropanol alcohol I can't see that doing much. There's no issue using a stronger mix say 20% even pure. isopropanol alcohol comes in a PVC bottle what vinyl is with coloring and release agent if there was any issues with the bottles with isopropanol alcohol they wouldn't put it in the bottles. The only stuff you can't use it on it's shellac 78 and those flexi discs. You still need a wetting agent like some pure soap car body soap without the wax. You can try this for really dirty records if they don't come out clean and have a lot of surface noise! Its called (auto groom) meant for cleaning vinyl in cars. Is a foam spread it in with a fine brush leave it for about three minutes and rinse off. I like those label protectors where'd you get that from? There's some evidence some cases of the outer sleeve gasing off old type of pvc and getting onto the record permanently damaging I wouldn't be using old outer slaves just get polyurethane ones

Great to see another video. I’m enjoying watching you experiment with various techniques in each video. One piece of advice: get rid of the old PVC sleeve. They let out a gas that will not only stain your record but other records around it (it’s called “outgassing”). Some of that grime you were wiping off was the chemicals from the plastics sweating from the sleeve. There are a few videos and articles online showing photos of it staining records. Replace them with some new modern sleeves, stick on the old price tag if you want the nostalgia and you’ll be fine.
