[QUOTE="HOTaljaard, post: 1105908, member: 24676"] Acid is quite a thing. Cleaned a couple of lps this morning using 50% acid (descaler - lactic acid is the active ingredient). Added some Ifotol. Also heated it ever so slightly in the microwave. After cleaning both sides (using velvet brush) left it for a couple of minutes before rinsing under the tap. Thereafter to the drying rack for a bit before a normal clean and vacuum. Results are very good. Couldn't clear my problematic lp of distortion (conlusion: groove ware) but could hear sonics improve. The other lps i cleaned all sounded better (and these had a normal clean/vac before). Visually they also improved (nice glossy appearance) compared to a normal clean/vacuum only. In fact im so encouraged by this that i will continue using this method. [/QUOTE]
