Record cleaning - what's your method?

[HiFi Guy]

Just saw on the High End website that buy one get one free Chisto Easy Groove concentrate expires at the end of the month.

Anyone use this with a Squeaky Clean? If so what is your method?

I will be when I get mine. I'm planning on spreading it with a Mofi brush, agitate it with my bristle brush and vacuum until dry.

Took me until just this second (and reading the box) to realize the Chisto concentrate comes in a spray bottle so you can make a gallon and then put the actual mix back into the spray bottle to use as you need it.

Have you tried it yet?

Not yet. Just arrived yesterday, groceries don’t get delivered until Monday (my distilled water is in that order).

That's what I do.

With the Chisto...how wet do you make the record? With the TTVJ I would get a pretty good layer on there so I could let it soak. I didn't know if the Chisto needed the same. (I ask because I tried the spray bottle thing but it didn't make it very wet.)

I never liked the spray bottles, I use a goose neck bottle and drop a stream going towards the spindle that only goes half way round the LP, if that makes sense.

Still basically the same process with the Chisto......

Some use more, some less.

That's the most dramatic cleaning video I've ever seen.

I was waiting for that machine to realize it finally forgives his father.

I make mine as wet as with TTVJ, just without the soak.

I do mine a bit differently.

I use a bit more fluid applied to a stationary record in a straight line. Then I put the brush in the fluid and start the platter. This way, the brush never touches a dry groove.

This is what I do too - and I squirt a little directly on the brush before I get started to wet it a little.

Man, they really package the Chisto really package like.

It was overdone just a little bit.

FOMO got me, so I picked up some Chisto while it's cheap.

Probably won't be using it until after I get through the rest of this MoFi fluid and TTVJ, though!

 

[dbarila]

I'm really liking the Chisto that I've used so far. It'd be a shame if my cat or kid accidentally knocked over my remaining 1/2 gallon of TTVJ so I wouldn't feel guilty about switching immediately....
