I will be showcasing and reviewing The GrooveWasher G3 fluid, GrooveWasher G2 Fluid, GrooveWasher GSR rinsing fluid, The Record Cleaning Intro Kit, The Handcraftted Walnut Cleaning kit, The GrooveGuard Inner Sleeves, and many other products!
We will be comparing the cleaning fluid and methods to our reference baselines under the microscope and seeing the results... These kits offer a very good value overall and we will be putting them through all of the paces.

Well done you! 👍 Your first "free stuff". I still have to buy or borrow anything shown on my channel. Then again, my channel isn't as in depth or as professional as your channel. Well done👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Happy listening. Jim from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ☺

Thanks for the kind words! Never thought of myself as professional LOLz 😂

Hey Ben , your audio cave looks pretty awesome. How about a video tour sometime ? It looks very clean so i am guessing you don't have too much of a dust problem. Your GrooveWasher product test was really interesting to watch. I would love to see the cleaning product under even higher magnification. Thanks again for another informative video.

[@MommasRecords]

Again, great review and overview video. I really appricate you reviewing products in the price range you are. You earned my sub with the great content! Keep it up! Cheers!

[@BensAudioCave]

Thank you!!! I am an average consumer so that is really my target… good values we can all use!

[@54tristin]

The way you did with a regular brush!

[@glen.moralee]

This was great thanks Ben. I ended up buying the kit with the stylus brush and I’m very happy with the label protector, G2 and microfibre pad which I use before every play. I’m yet to try to stylus brush with fluid though. It looks so clean using the brush dry that I don’t see the point of using the fluid. Hmm.

[@BensAudioCave]

Honestly my microline is really good at finding all the gunk hidden in even a just cleaned record (I check it with the microscope) that I find myself using it wet and then another dry! Thanks for watching!

One step for pre play: G2, suede pad 1. with the record spinning on the turntable, spray G2 to one edge of the pad 2. lightly touch the wet edge of the suede pad to spinning record 3. roll the suede pad to the dry edge to remove the G2 done Two step for deep cleaning: G3, Black Magic pad, rinse, microfiber pad 1. Apply G3, spread it out with a brush, let it soak in 2. use the Black Magic pad to work the G3 into the groves 3. apply the rinse and use the microfiber pad to dry the record done

Make sure your camera is on the opposite side of you, so we can see what is going on!

[@54tristin]

I suspect you might get better long term results if you held the brush over the record at 90 degree s From the center and rotated the platter.

[@hoobsgroove]

tell us what chemicals are in these cleaning fluids what's the ingredients?

[@BensAudioCave]

It doesn’t really say other than it is similar other than surficant to discwasher… I don’t have a mass spectrometer to really reverse engineer all that… but here is their material www.groovewasher.com/pages/faqs

[@hoobsgroove]

@@BensAudioCave phone up the manufacturers saying your kids swallowed thel liquid you need to know what the ingredients are, there is usually a code number used by medical staff for that purposes. wipe the platter first before you put the record on and just leave it damp when you switch the record over just wipe it over again with a damp cloth that takes away static as well, you could do this on your turntable.

The back of your head is not that interesting.
