In my experience, using the Loricraft type soft nylon brush and a fluid with the correct low surface tension that actively flows into the grooves is the best way to go. The brush needs to by less hard than the vinyl.
Failing a brush, then a micro-fibre cloth should be used.

That's why I use a piece of draught excluder brush. Softer than vinyl and just the right amount of flexibility for the job.Originally Posted by PaulStewart

Paul just cleaned a couple of LPs with your right stuff cleaning fluid and I am impressed it is very nice
I didn't use any distilled water rinsing after just the fluid in both directions vacuum then dry for 10 mins
Do you recommend rinsing after cleaning ?

I've used Paul's fluid for a while now, never rinsed.
Best I've tried so far.

On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

Hi All,
Glad you like "The Right One" fluid, Alan no don't rinse, there is no need to and as far as I can tell there is more chance of static returning with rinsing. As i posted in Trade Impressions, I now have stock of the Loricraft type soft nylon brush and the natural fibre dry brush too. The are in stores.ebay.co.uk/rebirthofthecool but PM me andthere is a deal for AoS members on these as well as the fluid.
Cheers

Was wondering why the label says " make sure the record is fully dry before playing..."?
