Hi, I guess this has been discussed before but I would be very grateful to hear any members advice on the best way to clean up records. Picked up a few that look like they have years of built up dust/dirt etc... (not scratches/marks) and advice on google seems varied and contradictory.  any advice including recommended products would be gratefully received.

Here's a start.....

 

 

Try typing "cleaning" into the forum search box for more topics.

I have used for years, AM record cleaner for vinyl records. you can get it off ebay.

 

Cheers Jim.

Nice

 

Try asking Boba, I'm sure he'll sort you out with this sticky question

Thanks to all for the advice - I think I will go down oxfam to buy a few discs to practice the woodglue on first !
