Translating the Chinese writing - yep, they sent you car polish. The front says: Eliminate scratches, polish and brighten. While the rear talks about how to apply it on your car. Unbelievable. Thank you for taking the bullet for the rest of us. Enjoyed the video.

[@minty_Joe]

@@thevinylattack Dude, that sucks! I am about ready to send you the $26 back for all that hassle. My rule of thumb: never invest in anything made of Chinesium. Oh, and hello from up north in Traverse City! Although I'm not an aficionado when it comes to vinyl, my tried and true method is cleaning with a solution that's distilled water with a couple drops of dish soap and denatured or isopropyl alcohol (a 50-50 mixture) in a spray bottle. Once clean, I then add a layer of water, spreading it evenly on the top with a super soft 1" bristle paint brush before I drop the needle. Any excess can be wiped up with the brush or sponge. This eliminates almost all of the static and cushions out the harshness of the transient peaks or distortion to a point. Of course, the more severe scratches or pops can't be fixed this way. For those, I use a microscope and manually try to repair or patch the damage. I'll even (gasp!) digitally record the vinyl and do the repairs in a DAW. Hey, I don't care, as long as I get the music I want and it's clean enough.

[@thevinylattack]

As always, instructional & fun.

I don't want my £900.00 Audio Technica cartridge getting destroyed by wood glue, window cleaning solutions or WD40 & god knows what other weird stuff people think is a good idea.

[@thevinylattack]

Precisely why I have a test table.

[@caddelworth]

There was a show called _How Clean Is Your House?_ in the UK back in the 1990s, and in one episode they *recommended* using WD40 to clean vinyl! "It gives them such a lovely shine!" said Kim Woodburn. I often wondered how many Lps and cartridges were ruined by that fatuous "tip!"

Plus the groove root would be full of this stuff and your Microscope view shows it . I've polished Aircraft Canopies and windows to perfection ( yes perfect) , Perspex /Plexiglass usually so I know what is possible to do and you confirmed it wasn't in this case !

Thanks for another great video, I love the channel. Something that might be of interest to you is the best deep cleaner I've come across in my travels. It's called Record Revirginizer - It removes everything from the record that is not vinyl, would even get all that scratched wax gunk out (If fo any reason your ultrasonic cleaner was unable to )

[@thevinylattack]

I've read about it before, but coming from Australia makes it extremely cost prohibitive.

[@Rekmeyata]

I read some years ago to use Titebond Wood Glue, series skips my mind, anyway, you spread the glue out over the record, wait for it to dry then peel it off, and clean the record like normally. Thank god I was smart enough to test it on a beat-up record because it made that beat-up record act as if it had gotten into a fight with an MMA fighter! So into the trash the record went.

[@crinoid1]

Merry Stones must be tracking my viewing because just after viewing your vid I logged into Instagram and what should appear but an ad for a similar record cleaning product. This time, there was a demonstration. With the disk on a rotating TT, you pour the white substance onto the platter surface in a circular motion. You then rub the goop on your record and wait for it to dry. After some time (一段时间后) the result is a plastic film coating your disk that you then peel off. Hey, Presto. Now you have a copy of your vinyl with the original dirt and a clean, original disk.

Glad to see you back. And with a great video too. The moment it started I started giggling.. Hope the stylus came out undamaged though.

Give it a shot you might be surprised.

[@LaurenceReeves]

I've just used the Magic Eraser technique, I'm honestly in shock!

Fun video.

How that kind of stuff might be of use on a car, I couldn't guess. Maybe you could test the glue method sometime. Might be similarly fun.

About a year or so back I downloaded Audacity, bought an interface, and a new stylus for my old Fisher turntable and proceeded to joyously, finally, get my albums on mp3. I've bought a cd of some of what I already had on vinyl but am lacking a lot of it still. In my prep I did some research and ran across a bunch of videos of guys using Tite Bond 2 wood glue to clean their albums. Spread a thin layer on, let it dry, and then peel it off. Works Fantastic! I'm thinking maybe this was the intended procedure for your mystery product. My project is on hold though because Audacity only records one fiddle when there's twin fiddles playing. I got frustrated because I couldn't get it resolved and not sure if it's me or the program but I think it's it. 🤯🥵😅

Back in the '70s, Burwen Research made the TNE 7000A Transient Noise Eliminator. I believe it worked by detecting an out of phase click, electronically splicing out the click, and replacing it with music from just before (or after?) the click. This happened in a fraction of a second. I remember it working very well at the lower settings to clean up the occasional click or pop. Obviously, if the threshold is turned up too high, it starts to make things worse. I still have my unit, but haven't used it for years. Now that I'm back into vinyl, I'm thinking about getting it restored if the cost is not too high.

John Linsley Hood had a circuit in Electronics World for eliminating pops and crackles in vivo.

Awesome job at showing us all how much of a joke and rip off this product actually is, considering that anyone in their right mind would already know is a rip off. regardless you had me until the end

Thumbs up for effort

I always thought that the act of rubbing a record with any kind of cloth, let alone the pressure of ones hand would ruin a record further. When I had records years ago I used to dampen the edge of a tissue very slightly and take one end in each hand and simply hang it over the record while it's spinning to remove dust and it worked fine with no audible deterioration to the LP. Why not also just dampen the record and see if this reduces pops and clicks. Of course the down side may be a temporary slight loss of tone , but at least the record isn't damaged. Also the stylus collects dust at the end of each side, so why not rest assured that your records are fairly clean rather than to risk damage from cleaning them?

This was more about testing a product that I was certain would be a disaster.

This was so funny 😁 ...next week: a bottle has arrived... U could use google lens to translate almost anything in realtime on your phone

[@thevinylattack]

A few viewers were kind enough to translate for me.

[@divadgnol67]

[@thevinylattack]

Glad you think so!

studied Japanese for 4 years in school, studied Tae Kwon Do (Korean martial art), spent alot of time having to read those languages and thanks to that love shot you gave of the label, that is definitely Chinese wither or not its Mandarin cant say. But its most assuredly Chinese. Love your channel, love your intellectual breakdown even if its of a lemon lol. Detroit vs. Everybody

[@thevinylattack]

I was fortunate enough to have a couple of viewers translate it for me. It was indeed meant for auto paint repair.

[@caddelworth]

@@thevinylattack I was about to ask you whether or not Google Lens or some similar translation tool would help, but clearly you are ahead of me! So, wow: they basically sold you _T-Cut_, right?!

[@thevinylattack]

@@caddelworth So it would seem.

Were all those pops and crackles in the original master recording?
