I've been using Audioquest carbon fiber knock-offs, actually the same thing without the label,for wet and dry cleaning. Never felt like they were doing anything on a wet album.

Recently got a Mobile Fidelity felt-pad type brush and liked it better for dry cleaning. More recently (yesterday) received a pair of the Disc Doctor felt pad brushes, one to be used with RRL Super Deep Cleaner and the other with Super Vinyl Wash.

Oh how they scrub!

You ever look at a record turning on the platter with a strong light? After you just finished brushing it? Yikes! Look at all that dust, lint and shmutz! After the two-step cleaning and vacuuming,there's a lot less. Maybe when I get a $99 Mapleshade electric brush it'll all go away. For now, wet scrubbing with RRL and Disc Doctor brushes, then vacuuming, will do. Noticeably quieter and 'better' sounding.

What? You say you don't have $600 for an RCM? How about $24 and no excuses....
