 Coolness: 165485 | i heard that toothpaste with bicarbonate de soude will work wonders but theres a technique to apply it !
this one is for cds!~ for vinyl you can buy a liquid at your fav vinyl shop(if theres any left) i think the stuff is called DR VINYL or something like that |

 Coolness: 130405 | Distilled water with a little bit of diswashing liquid,
Or just a little distilled water, You can buy stuff in stores but it can get pretty expensive, The most important thing is the cloth you use to clean them, Its needs to be as soft as possible, preferably something you've washed a couple of times, Anything abrasive will leave scratches, be really careful with that Also clean along the grooves in a circular manner Make sure to buy a good record brush for dust and keep your slipmatts clean And try not to get your records dirty in the first place ;) |

 Coolness: 147010 | indeed, distilled water ; and not regular water, because of all the minerals inside it, which would end up stuck in the vinyl groove. |

 Coolness: 167230 | I was using these anti-static wipes made for cleaning precise panel instruments on airplanes (my dad worked at Air Canada) ...they worked almost too well, but i'm not sure if it's even that great for the records, but it was the anti-staticness that pleased me.
i have none left though. so my records are dirty :P cleaning records is one of those things that i make a day of. hours of fun! |

| Coolness: 147010 | antistatic wipes have to be of the finest quality in order not to damage records... there's always a friction on the vinyl, which damages it a little every time (although you probably won't notice the difference before months).
but it's so much easier than distilled water that I use this... I only use distilled water when there's incrusted dirt which cannot be removed simply by wiping it off. |

 Coolness: 132280 | important to note :
cd's you clean from center to outer (like radiants), so if you scratch it will only be a bit intead of a byte, the adc will only lose a smaller part of the info
vinyls you have to run smooth bristles of a brush readwise (preferably in reverse) so if you scratch you dont damage all your grooves, and when you have crud located in a groove you clean it throuly instead of havin one wall that doesnt clean properly. use the softest cloth you can find,
nothing with big strong fibers, and and specialised 12" record cleaner with anti-static solution MADE IN. you cant go cheap on the solution if your anything serious, unless you can fing demineralised , pure h2o but even that, is not recommended: records can dry out if you start using anything but a chimeric product what doesnt create precipitate. its petrolum product . it has to be unsolutable, evaporable , unresidue stuff. talk to a few vinyl shop owners, and get their industrial size bottles. Update » cutterhead wrote on Sat Jan 3, 2009 @ 3:49pm there is a little oil in the plastic, if you use shit for product, you create a film, removing that oil, and the disk change colour & refection, and it will damage about 5 times faster. |
