[78-L] Groove Scum

[Erwin Kluwer]

I use a VPI cleaning machine in combination with the Disc Doctor two step
method... One rubbing with the  Disc Doctor brush and solution then
vacuuming. And another rub (second clean brush) with distilled water and
again vacuuming.

Records are pristine, even with the filthiest record I never had any dirt or
gunk left on my stylus...!
