Collector Protector Vinyl Record Cleaner Kit - Includes 70’s-Style Soft Velvet Record Brush, LP Cleaning Solution, Stylus Brush & Cleaning Liquid, Microfiber Cloth & Storage Pouch

Everything you need to help keep your vinyl records in tip top shape, Everything included in this kit works great.

My original Discwasher that I bought in 1981 recently split in a seam running along the front of the velvet so I started researching for a replacement. I've heard good reviews of the Discwasher 4+ cleaning fluid and found that this system is still being made, but by RCA. The beautiful thing about the internet is reading reviews by actual product users. This new Discwasher is an inferior knock off of the original with a corduroy pad instead of the directional velvet that helps scoop the contaminates off of the record surface. I've read in reviews that this corduroy pushes the dust around without actually lifting it. So this brings me to this product which mentions a velvet pad. While not being directional, the grain going into the direction of the grooves, it does track nicely into the grooves. I can feel this when I try to move the brush inwards or outwards on the record, especially when finishing and drawing the brush off the edge of the record. So, apply less pressure and whisk it off lightly. I also wanted the try a less stiff stylus brush, which this kit includes. My original Discwasher stylus brush is extremely stiff so only the point of the stylus gets any attention and dust can accumulate on the cantilever and on top of it. This brush helps the stylus rest down into the bristles for a more complete cleaning. One thing not included in this kit is a brush cleaner which is another bristle brush you use to whisk off dust from the velvet after you clean the record. I use my old brush for now, hint, hint guys! The kit comes with a bottle of vinyl cleaner which has a spray applicator instead of a drip which we used back in the day to apply to the front edge of the pad. I make my own fluid with distilled water, 90% isopropyl alcohol and a wee bit of Finish dishwasher fluid as a surfactant since my old fluid ran out years ago. So I haven't tried this new fluid yet. There is also a bottle of stylus cleaner you can add to the brush to help loosen any stubborn particles on your stylus. I haven't found any home made concoctions for this yet, so I'm happy to use this. I wonder what's in it? Lastly the kit comes with a microfiber cloth which I haven't used yet since I have a Boundless anti static brush for light dusting right before I drop the "needle". All this stuff is great after you have done a deep cleaning with some sort of wet washing. I am currently looking into some sort of vacuum system now to lift contaminates thoroughly off the deep cleaned record. And after your done, put your freshly cleaned vinyl in a Mo-fi type record sleeve. The paper sleeves and cardboard sleeves scratch your records every time you take them out and put them back in. Yikes!

easily used and does the proper job

Ok folks if you are using or considering this product it probably means you, like me have some old vinyl. As someone who owns a few hundred records that have been in storage for 20+ years... this item is the real deal. Well made and easy to use. I have listened to 8 albums since yesterday and this item works wonderfully. I took care of my records so they still sound great. My only disappointment, for lack of a better word is if you are old enough to remember the old disc washer, it had the red bottle that fit into a cutout on one end of the brush this brush has no opening like that. If you are looking for something to take care of that valuable vinyl this is a No Brainer...quality item, great price, fast delivery and the owner himself reached out via email to thank me for my business. Just swipe buy you wont regret it.

I waited until I felt confident I was using this correctly before reviewing. I'm a new collector. Being raised on cds, I'm not used to the labor of records. This makes cleaning them easy and actually works BUT only if you wet the brush with the spray first every time. This brush is useless when dry. I spritz only one pump of cleaner while holding the brush at a distance to where only a fine mist is falling over the velvet. I brush at an angle so that the brush eventually slides off the edge of the record and it takes all the dust and hair off the record because I can see it stuck to the brush. It's important to clean the brush with the cloth that comes with the pack--i was using this cloth as dry wiping and finally found what it's really good for. After buying an old Bram Stoker's Dracula LP that sounded awful and was convinced was garbage, I cleaned it with the spray and brush and, no lie, all the popping, static, and skipping is gone. This makes vinyl look so glossy and clean. I love it.

Easy to use to keep vinyls nice

Love this kit. So easy to use and it's amazing how well it cleans vinyl records. My first trial record did not look very dirty but when I finished the cleaning process there was so much dust and crud on the velvet pad. The record sounded so much better as well. Well worth the money! A very helpful and ingenious kit!

I purchased this to clean some scratchy sounding 45 records in my jukebox. What a difference cleaning makes. Very easy to use and it does a good job. I used the cloth for major cleaning and the handheld brush for minor.

Tried a couple other products but this set worked the best. Cleaned my records perfectly. Also really like the needle cleaner as well.
