@@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.
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
This stuff reminds me of when my mom caught me rubbing lotion onto my copy of Bionicle: The Game. and when she asked what I was doing; I replied _"I'm cleaning it"_
The ability to laugh at oneself is a sign of mental health; laughing at you laughing at yourself makes me feel better too. Thanks for ‘blessing’ is with this video. 👍

Yes. The container clearly states " Easy Vinyl Earwax Polish " for those of you not versed in Mandarin. Just playin'. Fun video of a B.S. non - American Made product'
I'm glad I watched this . I saw the ads last year and thought about it and pretty quickly came to the not a chance decision . Can't buff up this material to get rid of scratches , If it could do that what chance do the grooves stand ? They would be polished and worn down to some degree too . 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 your experiment video . Very good and now a subscriber .
One of my first jobs was auto reconditioning. That stuff looks exactly like the stuff I used to use to - yep - buff out scratches, and make a used car look as new as possible. Same color, consistency, and general results.
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.
Wow. Thanks for being there for us Chris. You managed to take that one item, and make a show. Really very well done. Really. Thoughtful, intelligent, thoroughly fleshed-out. Well spoken. One can't help but wonder where you found out how to produce a program as polished as this. Somehow, in my ignorance, I signed on thinking this was gonna work. Damn, it really does work. Makes me a little proud. You should be proud too. Very well done. You are going to hear this alot... Thanks Chris. Please carry on!
@@Anthony-fz7uf No policing was intended, Tony. It was a simple error correction. I've been on the receiving end myself a few times, and thanked the person back for catching it. YMMV.
so how about trying car polish on a record. might reduce both groove and stylus wear at the cost of lots of stylus cleaning. perhaps a step up from wet playing is waxed playing.love to know. Roy
Replying to your comment: I understand what you're saying, I don't add extra weight to the tone arm. It's only the set weight given with the record player. I seriously doubt I'm doing any real damage to the record with just one pass at 78 RPM. I've been doing this for years and not had any problems from doing this. I just wanted to spread the word, as most people aren't in the know.
Your positive attitude while destroying a record and making a stylus look like it chewed through some Styrofoam was commendable. Very entertaining test. Yes, it was a rip off but wow, what a great test and obvious failed product. Thanks again!
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?
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.
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

Thank you for revealing bad/damaging products like this to us who value vinyl. This is an atrocious product to be avoided at all costs. Shame on the manufacturer and rip off marketers!
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. 🤯🥵😅
I've just used the Magic Eraser technique, I'm honestly in shock! I'm using the wood glue technique on a reallllyy bad record first to see if it makes any difference, but if that doesn't work then I'm confident the Eraser will at work. I've done about 5 singles now I could risk, but they sound near enough brand new, when before they were popping galore!
I’m a new subscriber and here to stay. I’ve seen ads for vinyl repair and I wondered if they even worked. You saved the money I would’ve spent for nothing. Thanks so much for a great video! BTW - I have that same turntable ☺️

Nice video! I just went through something similar. A while ago I ordered a bottle of apple cider online, and it was delivered last week, but it was the wrong flavour! It wasn’t apple cider, but some sort of herb flavour, what was the name! Herb cider? Herbie cider? Oh, that’s right, it was called Herbicide! Catchy name! I finished the bottle this morning, and it tasted okay, but ... I’m not feeling that good ... urrgh ... fnnurgl ... eeeeeeerrrrrkkk!
About a million years ago, there was a product called scratch fixer.... which magically did pretty good when you had a disk that really needed salvation
Record cleaning machine is the only cleaning methed I have used that seems to work and not make things work I know it's expensive But to me it was worth it
Photograph that Chinese writing with your phone camera and run the photo through Google Lens....ta da! It will translate to English automatically. Works on every language I've tried, it's EZ 😄
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 )
As always, instructional & fun. One of the reasons I bought an ultrasonic Audio Desk Pro cleaner, was to ensure that secondhand LPs that I bought, were properly cleaned & not with the bat shit crazy methods & homebrew treatments that previous owners subject LPs to. 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.
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!"
i WOULD OF GOT IN CONTACT AND COMPLAINED TO THEM DEMANDING MY 2 DOLLARS AND TO GIVE ME WHAT I ORDERED, OTHERWISE I WOULD TAKE IT FURTHER, YOU HAVE TO BE TOUGH WITH THESE PEOPLE, GOD KNOWS HOW MANY MORE CUSTOMERS THEY HAD DONE THIS TO
When individuals decide to tip, they're being nice. When a society decides tipping is required regardless of merit and the government presumptively taxes tips whether they happen or not, then the society and its government are evil. In this context, tips become an expectation of getting something for nothing, a recipe for guilty feelings when no offense was committed, and a basis for governmental theft from hard working people who can't afford it. In short, TIPS ARE CRAP.
I think it's admirable that you took the hit for all of us, I did think this might of had a chnace to cause a 'slip effect' to the microscopic pits and ditches.... Imagine if you had used this on a $1000 record?
Hey Chris, I pre-ordered one of the Humminguru sonic cleaners! Also got a Fluance RT85 on the way so I'll be doing some reviews on my channel. As well as I'm filming a Top 10 Vinyl Accessories video tonight! Thanks for the inspiration my friend, maybe we can do a video together one day!
@@philipdru9290 yeah, I would be pretty sad if that was the case, lol. I did quite a bit of research bf buying it so I think we'll be ok. I wanted lean into some vinyl content on my channel and thought a nice "exclusive" type of equipment could make a splash after a few smaller type videos. I just love this stuff so much! Lol
If you have access to a smartphone, you can find and install apps that will translate from Chinese to English. Then point your phone camera at the cleaner bottle label to get the translation.
Secure our dishwasher because they use it too long and that’s all makes it bad for the record just let it go for like a two minute lesson don’t do it too long because that’s when you mess up the records
It's been Years since I've played an LP and as soon as your stylus dropped to the record, I realized why... That TERRIBLE Snap, Crackle, Pop... Vinyl SUCKS!!! I have a B&O 4002 turntable but I can't stand to listen to all of the crap on albums
Great news about the onzow cleaner gel. Noticed my music was not sounding very good after months of using the gel to clean the stylus. I will discontinue the cleaner until more is known about the cleaner. Other videos are very helpful as well. thank you
Fun video. I bet the stuff was meant to be used the way some people use wood glue or other PVA glue for LP cleaning --- that is, apply it thickly, rub it into the grooves, let it dry, then peel it off, ideally along with all the dust and dirt. 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.
after watching that i am now a big fan...that was entertaining...i had a blast...thank you,,,i am now going to subscribe...oh and sorry for the loss of your money...i understand well how every dollar counts
You can try the dishwasher but don’t let it get hot just let Use it with no soap and dry it with it with a cloth your feet up take all the deep down dirt
Hi Chris. Looks like a poor scratch remover for records. What's your opinion on the de stat device now that you've been using it. Is it a worthwhile purchase? music direct has a special on it now. Thanks Greg
Tiene toda la pinta de ser simplemente cola de carpintero a precio de oro. Hay que aplicarla (más cantidad de la que se prueba en el vídeo) dejarla secar y se extrae de una sola pieza extrayendo junto a ella el polvo que enganche de los surcos y limpiando bastante efectivamente los discos viejos con suciedad incrustada. No hace milagros pero merece la pena en algunas ocasiones. De todos modos... El producto del vídeo es una estafa porque cobran 3 o 4 veces los que vale el producto en sí y, en ningún caso repararas arañazos profundos, solo limpiaras polvo incrustado.
This product may well be shit, but I'm pretty sure after watching that it's meant to be spread into the grooves, allowed to dry and then peeled off - like the well-known hack with Elmer's glue - to grab all the particles out of the grooves. I mean, there are people who could have translated the instructions.
I bet this product is actually a car paint polish. Judging from the gunk on the stylist. They look like the micro polishing ''beads'' they use in such products. I know you probably don't want to try it again. But I wonder how it would do if you used it to polish the vinyl, then wash it off. Thats what you do in the auto detailing industry. There are actually special surface prep products you use to make sure you get all those micro-scrubbers off before you wax the car.
Watching the promotional video it looks like you should’ve put the wax, much more than the quantity you used, all over the record, make it dry so that it forms some kind of shell on the record, then remove it like peeling it off from the record. Why don’t you try doing as in the promo clip? I’m curious…
Well, that's show biz. had this happened to a normal consumer, I would contact my credit card company for a refund, first because it is the wrong product, secondly because auto scratch removers typically have a fine abrasive, which probably accounts for the black residue on the polishing cloth.
@@thevinylattack I paid inner-city Detroit car insurance for four years straight, hence my aggressive disposition haha. Was going to note it would be cool to see you do a episode on bottled record cleaners. There are so many but notably Audio-Technica, Lasermedia, KAIU, Boundless, Phoenix, GrooveWasher, and Groovy. I liked KAIU, wanna try GrooveWasher. I know this is where you tell me to buy an ultrasonic.
Seems pretty obvious that someone in China saw the letters SCRATCH and assumed they were both the same product. The actual advertised product was probably just a standard record cleaning solution, not car wax.
I use equal parts thumbtacks, gravel and bees in Kerosene, applied counter-clockwise in a circular motion with a lobster. Don't apply clock-wise, that would be ridiculous.

One of the reasons I bought an ultrasonic Audio Desk Pro cleaner, was to ensure that secondhand LPs that I bought, were properly cleaned & not with the bat shit crazy methods & homebrew treatments that previous owners subject LPs to. 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.
Precisely why I have a test table.
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!"
Back in the 70's and 80's either SAE or Phase Linear mad a click and pop unit which worked ok as i remember
I've read about them, but never used one myself.
This was damn funny and you kept at it hoping for vinyl nirvana! Bravo, I so enjoyed this.
I'm glad to hear it.
i WOULD OF GOT IN CONTACT AND COMPLAINED TO THEM DEMANDING MY 2 DOLLARS AND TO GIVE ME WHAT I ORDERED, OTHERWISE I WOULD TAKE IT FURTHER, YOU HAVE TO BE TOUGH WITH THESE PEOPLE, GOD KNOWS HOW MANY MORE CUSTOMERS THEY HAD DONE THIS TO
David Cross? I thought you only listened to the Fad 3 on your Victrola. :-o
well... you can polish the scratches out of your car now :) As a retired auto paint supply guy that's a small bottle of microfinishing compound
I figured as much. It was still fun to make though so it wasn't a total loss.
When individuals decide to tip, they're being nice. When a society decides tipping is required regardless of merit and the government presumptively taxes tips whether they happen or not, then the society and its government are evil. In this context, tips become an expectation of getting something for nothing, a recipe for guilty feelings when no offense was committed, and a basis for governmental theft from hard working people who can't afford it. In short, TIPS ARE CRAP.
You didn't have any Jim Nabors albums?
Lost it in the flood.
Dude you are awsome!!! thanks to showing this thing!! yes was really fun!! but keep it going!! thanks!🤣
I use Pledge Furniture polish on records
I think it's admirable that you took the hit for all of us, I did think this might of had a chnace to cause a 'slip effect' to the microscopic pits and ditches.... Imagine if you had used this on a $1000 record?
While I sincerely doubt anyone has use this junk on an expensive LP, there are still loads of unassuming buyers out there I hope will see this review.
Hey Chris, I pre-ordered one of the Humminguru sonic cleaners! Also got a Fluance RT85 on the way so I'll be doing some reviews on my channel. As well as I'm filming a Top 10 Vinyl Accessories video tonight! Thanks for the inspiration my friend, maybe we can do a video together one day!
Like you, I ordered a HumminGuru as well. Hopefully, we don’t get scammed like this deal here.
@@philipdru9290 yeah, I would be pretty sad if that was the case, lol. I did quite a bit of research bf buying it so I think we'll be ok. I wanted lean into some vinyl content on my channel and thought a nice "exclusive" type of equipment could make a splash after a few smaller type videos. I just love this stuff so much! Lol
@@31TV_TX Sounds good! If it works, it will put a lot of cleaners on notice.
@@philipdru9290 yeah im pretty excited to use it
It sounds like you're making some excellent steps forward with the vinyl hobby.
L.A.S.T. made my records quieter. If the records physically damaged; replace it or live with it
FWIW you probably have google lens on your phone, you can just point your phone at foreign text and it will do a fairly ok job translating
Maybe you can use a translater on your iphone for the translation!
I ended up doing something similar.
If you have access to a smartphone, you can find and install apps that will translate from Chinese to English. Then point your phone camera at the cleaner bottle label to get the translation.
Oh Chris, so funny. Thanks mate
Glad you enjoyed it
I bought something from China it was similar. I used it on two records they were trashed it was like glue I can't remember the name.
Anybody from the UK is reminded of Morecambe and wise plus Andre 'Preview' with that music.
Loving the shirt!!!!
13:28 "cannot read this" - so maybe it is totally not for a record ?
maybe you took something, what is for food or so...?
Itt may be "Clean" but the "EZ-Solution" is dissolving your Vinyl LP...
That vendor and his product SUCKS! Please write them up so no one else gets ripped off. - John
I just had a boozy evening last night listening to Charlie Parker - I'd love to remove "scotches" from that vinyl :-D
Secure our dishwasher because they use it too long and that’s all makes it bad for the record just let it go for like a two minute lesson don’t do it too long because that’s when you mess up the records
hold the instructions up to the cam I'll translate for you.
It's been Years since I've played an LP and as soon as your stylus dropped to the record, I realized why... That TERRIBLE Snap, Crackle, Pop... Vinyl SUCKS!!! I have a B&O 4002 turntable but I can't stand to listen to all of the crap on albums
Maybe you should just clean your records...
I'm stunned that everything that is marketed on the internet is not as advertised. Stunned.
I could've sworn that if it was on the internet it HAD to be true. Go figure.
Don't you mean "Shocked"?
Great news about the onzow cleaner gel. Noticed my music was not sounding very good after months of using the gel to clean the stylus.
I will discontinue the cleaner until more is known about the cleaner. Other videos are very helpful as well. thank you
Happy to help.
KLH Burwen Research TNE 7000A Transient Noise Eliminator
Fun video. I bet the stuff was meant to be used the way some people use wood glue or other PVA glue for LP cleaning --- that is, apply it thickly, rub it into the grooves, let it dry, then peel it off, ideally along with all the dust and dirt. 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.
It was meant to be car polish, but I don't even know if it would do that well.
after watching that i am now a big fan...that was entertaining...i had a blast...thank you,,,i am now going to subscribe...oh and sorry for the loss of your money...i understand well how every dollar counts
It was worth it.
Old radio station trick was to have a spray bottle of distilled water handy😊
I keep hearing that but have yet to see any proof. I'm certain there's a reason it's not done anymore.
You can try the dishwasher but don’t let it get hot just let Use it with no soap and dry it with it with a cloth your feet up take all the deep down dirt
Hi Chris. Looks like a poor scratch remover for records. What's your opinion on the de stat device now that you've been using it. Is it a worthwhile purchase? music direct has a special on it now. Thanks Greg
The Destat III is by far the best product I've used for static removal so far.
@@thevinylattack Say no more! Gonna order it now!
Absolutely loved this Video...
Thank you.
Tiene toda la pinta de ser simplemente cola de carpintero a precio de oro. Hay que aplicarla (más cantidad de la que se prueba en el vídeo) dejarla secar y se extrae de una sola pieza extrayendo junto a ella el polvo que enganche de los surcos y limpiando bastante efectivamente los discos viejos con suciedad incrustada.
No hace milagros pero merece la pena en algunas ocasiones. De todos modos... El producto del vídeo es una estafa porque cobran 3 o 4 veces los que vale el producto en sí y, en ningún caso repararas arañazos profundos, solo limpiaras polvo incrustado.
it's ac cutting compound. It shouldn't be anywhere near your records. It will damage the integrity of the record. Great video tho, funny.
It definitely ruined the record, that's for sure.
This product may well be shit, but I'm pretty sure after watching that it's meant to be spread into the grooves, allowed to dry and then peeled off - like the well-known hack with Elmer's glue - to grab all the particles out of the grooves. I mean, there are people who could have translated the instructions.
It was not intended to be used like a glue, no.
I bet this product is actually a car paint polish. Judging from the gunk on the stylist. They look like the micro polishing ''beads'' they use in such products. I know you probably don't want to try it again. But I wonder how it would do if you used it to polish the vinyl, then wash it off. Thats what you do in the auto detailing industry. There are actually special surface prep products you use to make sure you get all those micro-scrubbers off before you wax the car.
It absolutely is.
Watching the promotional video it looks like you should’ve put the wax, much more than the quantity you used, all over the record, make it dry so that it forms some kind of shell on the record, then remove it like peeling it off from the record. Why don’t you try doing as in the promo clip? I’m curious…
Mostly because I don't feel like cleaning up the mess.
Well, that's show biz. had this happened to a normal consumer, I would contact my credit card company for a refund, first because it is the wrong product, secondly because auto scratch removers typically have a fine abrasive, which probably accounts for the black residue on the polishing cloth.
Do credit card companies dispute charges that low? I've never tried.
Man, I like you after twenty seconds and I hate everything.
Thanks. I think.
@@thevinylattack I paid inner-city Detroit car insurance for four years straight, hence my aggressive disposition haha. Was going to note it would be cool to see you do a episode on bottled record cleaners. There are so many but notably Audio-Technica, Lasermedia, KAIU, Boundless, Phoenix, GrooveWasher, and Groovy. I liked KAIU, wanna try GrooveWasher. I know this is where you tell me to buy an ultrasonic.
Seems pretty obvious that someone in China saw the letters SCRATCH and assumed they were both the same product. The actual advertised product was probably just a standard record cleaning solution, not car wax.
More than likely, but I still hope to get my hands on it one day...
I use equal parts thumbtacks, gravel and bees in Kerosene, applied counter-clockwise in a circular motion with a lobster. Don't apply clock-wise, that would be ridiculous.
Makes sense to me.
I wouldn’t want my Scotches removed, no way, they make me enjoy music even more 😂
Facts.
