Is this video supposed to be some kind of joke. I would never follow this advice. I hope you are better with your cars than your vinyl.

[briansredd]

Yeah, it's a joke.

Hey, someone asked me how I clean my vinyl so I told them. I get some pretty funky dirty stuff on crate digs. This technique has worked well for me. Perhaps if you have a better way of doing things, you could make your own video. If you don't want to do that, then perhaps you could at LEAST say how YOU would do it insted of just saying I am WRONG.

[briansredd]

Or, you could continue to leave nasty comments on other people's videos. I suppose for some, that's a bigger turn-on than actually at least attempting to contribute some usefull information that may be helpfull to others.

Perhaps some light sandpaper, for that groovless finnish.

Rubbing alcoholi is very bad for vinyl.

[fatshoolaces]

Noooo !! yr vinyl may look clean after this method, but if u could see it microscopically u would be horrified. u r scuffing the crap out of them with the paper towel n u r leaving colourings, preservatives, n other harmful substances deep in the groove. no prob if yr turntable/stylus are lo quality, or records are scuffed anyway, but on a decent set-up or mint vinyl u would definitely hear degradation.. various good methods out there but this isnt one of them.. lecture over :)

Titebond II wood glue cleaning method followed by a wet clean for the win.

Ok I wouldn't totally agree with useing glass cleaner. As well I don't agree with going around witht he grove. I would clean them like a CD start from the inside and slide the cloth slowly and gentley accross to the outside of the record. Thank you for the helpful advise though. Not trying to shoot you down, but I wouldn't agree with the glass cleaner. Glad to hear you are a car nut though. Thats awesome! Other than that love your videos and thanks for all the helpful hints!! Cheers from Toronto

if you use paper towels, little pieces of the paper towels will stick in the grooves. as far as whether or not glass cleaner is bad for it idk bout that one im still using cos i turned to this video for advice years ago lol

[AlionXeer]

AHHHHHHHH! That poor record. There delicate things no paper towel (sand paper). No hand rubbing (put it in a cheap deck so you get correct circular motion). Buy some profesional gear (even if you use it worngly it will still half the damage your doing to them now).

[DarkAngelEU]

you have an iron needle? I have a diamond one, but don't ask me what's best ;)

[Cavsfan12908]

@briansredd i use lens wipes, they work well too.

[DoNotObey1]

idiot

[seekah1]

@chiquisbaby81 I wouldve thought even an old T would be better than a fricken PAPER TOWEL??!! Im just gonna find a decent solution and a carbon fibre brush to finish off. Man, there all sorts of ways to clean em.
