Make sure if you are using lighter fluid to clean your records it is Zippo brand, because most other brands put wax in their fluid. My guess is that wax and grooves don't mix all that well. Your records might start sounding muddy, either that or you could put your stylus on the birthday cake as one of them trick candles. I have never used lighter fluid to clean my records, but i may try it now.

Any weight on a record will cause wear and yes, the more weight the more wear. So it's a pay off..... If you're mixing or scratching and you can't afford it to jump, then use enough weight, if you are just spinning ya tunes, then just use minimal weight! IMO Unless you are spinning the same records for hours and weeks on end, you will not really notice a lot of wear, just looking after your records is more important... like putting them back in their sleeves and not leaving them out to get scratch up... That's how records get Fu**ed!!
