Cleaning Records

[Filo]

What do you guys use to clean your records. Some of mine have become dusty as fuck and i jsut don't feel right wiping them on my shirt or whatnot. Is there some cleaning agent that is applied by a sponge or somethign along those lines?

[soma]

you can get kits at most fine records stores.....
or I'll bring some over this week how much cleaning you planning on doing? ( # of recids)

[cerah]

There's this stuff that Ryan got from Boomtown... I've seen it at Hipnotik too. It's called Gruv Glide... apparently it works fucking great! Costs about $50 though.

get a record sweep.

also, there is record cleaner (a lot cheaper than 50bones) prolly in the tens to twentys.

[Filo]

i dunno how much cleaning i plan on doin. i am a lazy ass ripper so i'd prob get liek 5 done and quit. I know it would be pretty much pointless to do that. i'm just inquiring right now.

what u up to tonight brett??

[cheeseburger]

Chi Chi told me about windex.

I was nervous at first.. but that shit works

[Filo]

wouldn't any solvent "eat" away at the vinyl???

[Moon]

i've used gruv glide and windex

i cant tell which is more effective

[matéo]

POOT SOME WEENDEX ON IT



I have used windex since forever

[*STARFISH*]

foolio, if youre coming over tonight, feel free to bring your dusty records.
i have a brush and cleaner.

[Ree Fresh]

I use my parents old rocord brushes.
Water is fine, and some dj's soak their records in water so get off the sticker lables.

About this windex. What do you wipe it off with or clean inside the grooves? I wouldnt use papper towels or news paper cus the bits would get stuck in the groves :sick:

[Akeel]

i use stanton vinyl cleaner
its like 20 bucks comes with a brush and fluid. u should be able to find it @ virgin.

[AWOL]

I swear by Gruv Glide. That shit removes all static too which prevents getting all the lint on em too.

Soap and water in the kitchen sink works really good too (heard it from an interview with John Kelly), but I'm not sure if it leaves a residue.

[MissBehavior]

^The only problem with most things is that they don't have an anti-static shield or whatever you call it. The commercial record cleaning solutions do, which means cleaning your records less (provided you're not throwing them on the floor), which is better for the vinyl in the long run.

! part isoprpyl alcohol
2 parts water

put in spry bottle
spry on
wipe with shop papper towl

thats what i clean my coolectables with.

[Van Tek]

I heard there's also some kind of wipe u can buy that will repair most scratches on a record, anybody know anything about that?
my old room-mate said he used some one time and it worked, but he was a pathological liar so I dunno if that's true or not
