Aloha,

I used to say, "Necessity is the mother of strange bedfellows."

Now, it's the mother of home brewed record cleaning.

Any of y'all invent your own fluids?

I been trying to the last few days and have come up with Buddha's Fluids V1.0.

Thusfar, I have arrived at:

10 Oz distilled water.

6 Oz. 91% Isopropyl alcohol.

3 drops Cascade Crystal Clear (sheeting agent.)

1 big drop (thick drop?) Sun Light "Oxi Action" dishwasher liquid.

"Micro Fiber" towels and round cleaning pads from Auto Zone.

Total outlay, under 20 dineros.

Took a finger printed, smudged, mildew stuck to LP, dirty copy of Rusty Warren's "Knockers Up" and took it from "Eww, Cooties" to "Crikies! That's clean!"

First, rinse with water from that thing in the sink that is supposed to make your water healthier.

Then add the solution above to a round microfiber pad and clean in circular moton.

After that, the record has some fluid on it, but then, add distilled water, et voila! The water sheets off and clean dry record in no time at all!

Then, I played it.

I never type these three letters, ever, never before, but O.M.G. !!!!

Looks great sounds great.

I'm thinking 100 bucks a quart great.

Rusty deserves it.
