Pros & Cons
Pros
This product really cleans the grooves. Almost instantly restores grimy vinyl to a pristine state. With 2 cleans per side, it's like i am listening to the new record again.
Cons
No discernible difference in sound quality after use. Seems to leave an invisible residue behind which the stylus pick up. Sound quality is worse on many albums after applying this product.
Highlights
Quality
This is the second time that i have bought this product
Very easy to use with the cloths provided
Still following the instructions i wiped the record with the included micro fibre cloth
The sound quality is noticeable after a good deep clean comes with 2 cloths and a handy little drying stand
Packaging/appearance
No instructions provided for using the stylus cleaning liquid supplied in the kit
Still using 3 sprays but letting it dwell for around 60 seconds before wiping away the residue
Competitiveness
If you like me use a ortofon stylus om you may have found that most cleaners clog the stylus after cleaning
This one wasn’t one of the ones i had read about but was available with sameday delivery on amazon so i thought i would risk it

I’ve tried cleaning them with a brush but never invested in proper cleaning solution i’ve just thought the record was old and worn out and that’s the risk of buying something over thirty or forty years old

I cleaned the record following the instructions and after giving it a few minutes to dry turned on the record player without really hoping for too much

The one thing this magic bit of kit does not do is to heal trenches dug into the vinyl so dont expect it to do that but crackle due to grub piece of cake
