Via the search engine, I've seen a few threads here on using/not-using naptha (Ronson lighter fluid, commercial Naptha, et al.) as a last-gasp attempt to remove gluey gunk from grooves.
Some folks reported success with their methods.
The threads I've found were in the 2005-2011 range.
My question: can anyone who has done this report on the long-term health of their vinyl after its being exposed to the naptha?
I've got a near mint "Willie Nelson's Greatest Hits (& Some That Will Be)" with the gluey guck across a small area on one track. I've tried a few commercial record cleaning formulas and Vinyl-zyme. Though most of the goo is gone, there's still visible and audible evidence that more needs to go; hence this question.
(N.B., the track in question has been auditioned only with an inexpensive back-up cart. There are no skips or pops or tics. The sound is more of a skritchy "whoosh-whoosh.")
Thanks for any thoughts on this,
