Looks like the stuff R Banks sells?..............i`ve had a couple of bottles,and it aint bad whistling.gif

Its not bad gets off any visible muck, fingerprints and such, think it does something to do with static too whistling.gif allways used to give the cloth you get with it a good soaking with the solution and put it in a plastic bag to take with me and give the records a quick wipe befor playing them, Dusty records are a big no no, every time the needle hits a bit of dust it causes a spark! which cant be no good for the vinyl whistling.gif

whistling.gif:thumbsup:

I didn't see it till after I bought some and to be fair I should imagine HMV get it cheaper than Roger does anyway and HMV aren't open at 3am whistling.gif

De-ionised water mixed with a tiny tiny amount of upvc cleaner is just as good, put it in a small hand sprayer (about 99p from homebase) with the nozzle on fine mist. Much cheaper whistling.gif

Washing up liquid on a bit of cotton wool with a dab of water cleans them up perfect. whistling.gif

That's why i said , tiny tiny amount. You will probobly find that it is a similar mix in that can, just de-ionised water & a tiny amount of a cleaning agent

I used to work for a company that specialised in degrading polymers, in fact their degradable carrier bags are used by tesco, wilkinsons etc etc, a couple of their consultants were 2 of the top 5 macro-molecular polymer scientists/proffessors in the world.

I once asked them about cleaning vinyl, they said the record cleaner advertised would be ok on vinyl but to be careful on styrene also keep it off the labels.

just on another note the said avoid washing up liquid like the plague...shampoos and even boot polish are known to rot certain types of polymers fairly quickly, and modern washing up liquids are fairly brutal with carbons ...i was told.

They said distilled water on its own was probably the best and that tap water could introduce lime into the grooves and cause damage over time if left and not cleaned properly.

Geeoooordie

Never had a problem with washing up liquid been using it for 30 odd years, and yes I even used boot polish years ago to re-groove a record, it works but wrecks your stylus.

Always use a cut of distilled water and pure isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol.

This seems to do the trick and is a darn sight cheaper than the proprietary brands.

Got some funny looks in the chemist shop here when I asked for a pint bottle of isopropyl - think they thought I was gonna drink it................. :thumbsup::wicked::ohmy:

Take care,

John
