RE: How do you clean records? /nt\

Since you are a pontiff of LP cleaning, have you ever considered following up your cleaning ritual by rinsing the LP surface with distilled water, before placing it in a drying rack? I found that makes a worthwhile difference with my VPI HW17, by removing residual cleaning fluid and crud from the grooves that was not removed by the first pass of the VPI vacuum wand. (My preferred cleaning fluid is a mixture of water, propanol, and non-ionic detergent.)

I once came to the conclusion that the Walker Audio protease-based cleaning process works a little better than the above, but the extra steps did not seem worth the effort, except for especially loved LPs.
