Gruv Glide

Sorry to disagree, but I like the Gruv Glide treatment. IMO, it does NOT gum up the grooves. Not sure if and how G_m_c used the Gruv Glide, but if you follow the manufacturer's instructions and apply to the supplied pads; then in my experience it actually knocks back some of the groove noise and can on some more noisy LP's make them more listenable. I see no way it can gum up the grooves unless you are applying huge amounts directly onto the surface of the LP from the can...even then??
I use a VPI 16.5 to clean first and then apply Gruv Glide after...a nice tool to increase resolution and knock back noise, specially on a more worn record.

Theo, Your Gruv Glide came in a Box??? It was like Talcom powder...my, oh my, I think somebody sure sold you on something, but it sure wasn't Gruv Glide:0)

Theo. the can sprayed a 'powder'!!! How old is your can of GG???--:0(

Theo, from the sounds of it, you would be better off putting it in the trash
where it now belongs. Seriously, I have thrown several cans of GG away in the past, they do have a shelf life.

Not sure of that G_m_c. However, i have never had a problem with any vinyl that has been treated with GG and this is over a period of about 15 years that i have used the stuff.
The propellant in the can does go south after some amount of time, I have never seen the GG lubricant become a powder though!
