Lasermedia Lasermedia VNC-8 Professional Vinyl Record Cleaning Fluid 8 Oz Spray Bottle by TME

I had a 41 year old record that had a significant amount of surface noise and this cleaning solution worked a miracle, making it sound almost new! I am very impressed and highly recommend this product which did not cost an arm and a leg.

EDIT: The more I use this, the more I wish I had just bought another bottle of GrooveWasher G2 fluid. IF there really is a surfactant in this, it’s less than 1% of the compound. The compound just beads up on the records. There is some sort of detergent because it bubbles up if you give it a shake, so it’s not just plain distilled/deionized H2O, but unlike most detergents, it retains surface tension, so it doesn’t spread into the grooves of the records as well as, say, the Groovewasher G2 fluid—another alcohol-free compound that is gentle on records. Also, I don’t use ‘detergent’ as a dirty word here (puns). It is necessary to clean records well, IMO. It does seem to clean quite well, at least compared to the aforementioned G2 fluid — similar cost, similar results. Once is good enough for new records, but anything else will need at least a couple go ‘rounds to get through the layers of fingerprints and other crap. The mister on my bottle mists in a short radial cloud that requires several spritzes to cover the record (particularly given the lack of a stronger surfactant). I had to spritz 8-9 times to get one side covered. I transferred some of the compound to my empty G2 bottle which has a much better mister and it only took 3-4 spritzes to cover the next side. Overall, it’s a decent cleaner and I would recommend it, though I would also recommend the G2 fluid, and maybe more-so than this.

So far so good! Bought this to refill a 2oz bottle of audio-technical clear that I use on the AT6012 cleaning brush. So far it has worked great! I always hit any recently purchased records with my anti-static brush and then give them a good god clean with the wet brush. All the records I’ve cleaned so far with this solution are fingerprint and residue free and sound crisp and clean. I would add that the spray bottle the cleaner comes in sprays a bit forcefully. I would recommend spraying your records on another surface than your turntable platter.

After a few cleans with it, i just poured it out and filled with distilled water, it works better and leaves less grey residue behind

This stuff is EXCELLENT!!! I use a Revolv Goat's Hair Brush and this formula to "wet clean" my records. I also use a microfiber towel to dry my LPs. This Vinyl Record cleaning spray lifts the dirt right off and the goat's hair brush really loosens the dirt. I would recommend that you use a carbon fiber brush first to lift away loose surface dirt and then use this formula by spraying liberally on the surface of the LP. Leave this formula on the record for one minute and then use the goat's hair brush to gently loosen dirt from the grooves of the record. Then I clean my LPs with a microfiber cloth and the dirt and finger prints come right off the LPs surface. The evidence is in and when I play an LP, I always check the stylus for dust and this formula leaves very little dust on the record. Usually, my stylus has very little dust on it after I play a cleaned LP. I would recommend this formula for cleaning vinyl LPs. The only con is that I usually end up getting my label wet due to the way the nozzle on the bottle sprays the LP.
