TwiloThunder Technique I use is when queuing the record before you drop the needle, just hold a cloth or something similar (has to be clean obviously) and let lightly touch the vinyl as it spins. Gets all the crap off. Make sure you use an antistatic cloth though otherwise you're going to be playing a remix of crackling and pops! Using antistatic cloths also means no static on the vinyl which means no dust attraction. Atm though I just use the t-shirt I'm wearing and hold the bottom of it over the vinyl :P. xXxAzNrAvErxXx I use Gruv Glide - removes dust and static from vinyl which is really helpful since static attracts dust. I also tried discwasher d4 system before gruv glide but does not work as well. djmorph can you use rubbing alcohol as a substitute for the cleaning solution they give you in most vinyl cleaning kits? or will that ruin the vinyl?

I think you are suppose to mix that with water first..like 1 part alcohol to 4 part water Breeze anti static cloth.. works a treat. DJ-Kuza I use a carbon fiber long bristle brush and record cleaner witha soft cloth.
