Forgot to mention, Using the disc doctor products like any record cleaning fluids, proper rinsing is important if you dont want residue. I don't care if it says it "leaves no residue" in my experience all will if not appropriately rinsed. The disc Doctor set is two brushes (one wash one rinse) two replacement pads, and a bottle of concentrate. You do not apply pressure, just guide the brush as directed. Once done, I go to the sink and blast warm (not hot, mildly warm) water on them, carefully at an angle, turning the album until all is exposed. Then rinse well with distilled water, THEN do the recommended rinse step in the disc doctor intructions. I still pick up a little residue the first time or two I play them, but if really well rinsed, it isn't audible, and appears under magnification as pure white fluff which if dried, brushes right off. (Let albums dry well) If I only follow the instruction method, I had residue which was audible for the first 2 or 3 plays, then great. Maybe I didn't rinse well, but I like the sink method.
