i use gruv-glide fairly regularly. it is a bit pricey at first [$28.00USD]. on the bright side, one cannister really does treat about 100-130 records. i use gruv-glide primarily for the anti-static treatment and the dry lubrication. i'd have to say that i have never treated a badly damaged record and then noticed any stunning sonic results. as most folks have said on the list... i just make an effort to protect the vinyl i do have. this may be difficult if you are travelling with your collection, however.

It would probably be beneficial to also switch from washing up liquid (which I know contains a bit more than just soap) to a milder soap, though I'm sure hand soaps have other additives... anyone with any ideas here? As for the GruveGlide and Disc Doctor has anyone experimented with it and really got significantly better results? It seems quite a high initial outlay (especially with Disc Doctor) and I've never bought a brand new record before and thought "that sounds like the record is really dirty!" like they seem to imply! Perhaps I need to replace my Technics 1200 decks with something more audiophile!?!
