All that you do is spray the solution onto the pad, then rotate the brush a few times around the vinyl--and it works great

Comes with a nice small stiff bristled brush to clean the pad after use

so the underside does not scratch, cleaning cartridges, brush, solution and pin.

I usually use a record cleaning brush, but this LP needed more than just the brush

Sometime in college, I moved up to the anti-static groove cleaning brushes, which meant putting a record on the turntable and running it without the needle on while holding the brush in place on the LP

I've always taken care of my albums with just a cleaning brush, but this system with the cleaning solution was very delicate and cleaned the albums nicely

The combination of the cleaning cartridge pad and cleaning solution does a much better job picking up dust and wiping off dirt and fingerprints than a dry anti-static brush

I think this is a very handy system that definitely removes dust and fingerprints from my vinyl records and doesn’t have the downsides that my old anti-static groove brush had (I won’t even address my old t-shirt method)
