VPI 16.5 record cleaner getting a thrift store find back to like-new condition with Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs cleaning fluid. I use the MoFi cleaning pad to distribute the cleaning fluid across the surface and then the VPI brush to scrub. Works great!
I use a combination of Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs and VPI brushes - the VPI brushes are a lot stiffer and more "aggressive", so I tend to use those on dirtier records. I also will typically run thrift-shop and other dicey vinyl through a manual Spin Clean RCM first. Since I made this video, I've switched from the MoFi cleaning fluid to Audio Intelligent Vinyl Solutions 3-step (enzymatic, cleaner, and super-pure water). I get all of my supplies at musicdirect.
