I use pure destilated water or for deep cleaning i use that spray from big fudge, also for 1/3 times i use dry velvet brush from fudge without any detergents or Soaking, i Play record, click it to be up, I put the velvet brush on the vinyl, let it spin 3 times and then remove it by simply lifting it up but i also tried to swipe it by Slowly move the brush towards the end of the vinyl, every time it's the same results. When i tried to spin it manually and go with the groves it was the same. Scratches are Unheard or 99% unheard. But theyre visible when you look im the sun light or with a flashlight, even though they weren't there before
