I recently purchased some Audio Intelligent solution #15 enzymatic pre clean to use with my VPI 16.5 prior to my usual cleaning with Disc Doctor cleaning solution followed by 3 distilled water rinses. I picked a record that had come from a collection in a particularly moldy room.The record was in excellent condition other than faint white splotchy marks all over that I assumed were mold. I pretreated with AI #15 for 5 min per AI’s instructions. After further cleaning and drying, the record was cleaner, but the splotches remained. Did I do something wrong? Could the splotches be something else?
A second record had inner runout marks I assumed were from the old plastic inner sleeve, but after going thru the same process, these marks did not clean up as well...Hmmm?
Would an US RCM like a Degritter do a better job? Other thoughts?
