Re: How often should I use LP#9?

How much coffee should I drink in the morning ?

Seriously, there is no definative answer to any of these questions as how much, when, and how often you use any of these products depends entirely on different variables, how clean is your vinyl to start with ?, what type of stylus are you using ? how dusty is your environment ?, how anal are you (how much rigamorole are you going to tolerate on an ongoing basis as SOP ?

Personally I use the Zen Dust before every side as it couldn't be any easier or faster and does a great job.
With the LP #9 I'd use it after my Q lift or "The lift" malfunctiioned and the stylus has been going Klump ! Klump ! Klump ! tracking the runout groove for hours, or before I'm going to look at a stylus with a hand lense or microscope.

With the RRL you only need enough to flood the Groove as the AQ or other brush or pad passes, you never need to cover the entire record as you're just wasting s lot of solvent, if you dry vacuum or CF brush clean the record before the wet clean you can get by with less solvent also. Really dirty greasy LP's with cooking and tobaccoo films need more, common sense and experience.

If you approach most things in some arbitrarily established rote (mindless) fashion it's generally not a real good thing.

Then you're acting more like a Government than a person ;-)
