Vinyl Record Cleaning Kit for Small Collections – Starter Box Set

Let's get the realities out of the way: it's a LOT of work and pricey. But then, aren't many great things? after you develop technique, things improve for certain. And having 2 drying spindles would dramatically increase throughput.

I tried various amounts'”don't be skimpy, but also don't be wasteful. After a few sets of cleaning, you will find your happy place.

After removing the film (which is oddly rewarding in itself), I place each record on its edge on my cleaning mat and use a Groovewasher brush to scrub the circumference as I turn the record for a revolution or two. Then, I use my blower and blow off all the particles I can. Then, I look for any residue and remove that before a final blow and insertion into a clean VSS sleeve.

What you get for that is unparalleled. The discs look so shiny and clean, while static is flatly gone. Record Restore is worth all the investment in time and money if for no reason other than the static removal. Really, there's nothing out there even close.

There are also sonic enhancements on many records, while not noticeable on others.

I don't know how long the treatment works. It is implied the benefits are permanent or, at least, semi-permanent. That's hard for me to accept, but if true, then this investment is certainly unparalleled with respect to all of my HiFi investments.

I'm still going to do my initial Groovewasher and ultrasonic cleanings (first), but only because I bought them 😂!

Also, Stephen (the owner) is wonderful, and I encourage you to reach out to him with any questions.

Thus far, I've cleaned nearly 60 records with 2 bottles. I'm out! But I'm going to place an order right now for another 8 bottles, which should get me pretty close to through my entire collection. That will be over a $1,000 investment '¦ which tells you a good bit about what I think of this product and this company.

Steep learning curve, especially with the edges of a record. I think I have worked out the best way to apply the film close to the record edge now.
The cleaned surfaces are amazing and there is an obvious sonic improvement.
I think that a combination of this film and ultrasonic cleaning is the ideal way to get the best out of vinyl.

I am from the UK and I am shocked there are not more comments regarding this product....it is manually an in-depth but easy process but therapeutic seeing the results actually happen and sonically the records have shown a massive improvement even new pressing when there must have been residue left over from the factory. Highly recommended

Learning to apply Record Restore is a little nerve wracking if you are a nervy type like me.
But once done the immediate sense is that the sound is more open, the sound stage has more space, strings are audible on strummed guitar and the reverberation of plucked double bass.
Put all these together and the music becomes completely engrossing, individual performers more present and all I can say is I found myself more deeply entering the artist's space.
If you have Dion's self tilted album with Abraham Martin and John, do the restoration and listen again to Tomorrow Is A Long Time / Everybody's Talking. Wonderfull.

Today I trialed record restore with 5 albums which I had set aside due to static. They had been cleaned a few years ago. Results were promising. A little static remained but I think the sound quality improved. It's hard to tell by what extent but improvement yes. It's a little tricky to remove the product and if you do not get it all in one go it's a bit messy. Practice required. I wonder if cleaning up little bit with the sticky tape leaves a residue which could be picked up by the stylus??
