[78-L] Groove Scum

[David Lennick]

I've never used the Nitty Gritty so I don't know how effective it is. 
Evidently, not as good as it might be..or does it need maintenance? I use the 
Monks, but that was purchased over ten years ago and at THAT time it cost more 
than my first two cars. Definitely a worthwhile investment, but it's a 
professional machine.
