If you find a record still has the odd crackle and pop but the surface looks unblemished re-clean 1-2 times, its probably badly soiled from cigarettes or handling with greasing fingers. If after that it still is noisy then its been damaged with a bad stylus or played many times.

Have fun.
Thanks for this Adrian, luckily I don't have too many records that need cleaning! But have a lot of time on my hands at the minute, will make a start after I've fitted my new Roksan tonearm, things happen slowly in the mike house.
