Hello, I’ve just finished doing my first batch of cleaning with the home made jazz collectior solution. Then rinsed with distilled water all using the newer Knosti cleaner. Wondering should I wipe dry with microfibre cloth as recommended. Bit worried bits of cloth may defeat object and best to leave to air dry? Any experiences, thanks

I use the same solution and don't generally rinse afterwards, just let them air dry. Have found with the Knosti that there is sometimes a label-bleed residue on the vinyl which I wipe away with a micro-fibre cloth wetted with the cleaning solution. Hope this helps.
 
I leave mine to air dry. I know some people think this is an abomination but yah boo sucks.

I just have to say that 'jazz collector solution' sounds like a euphemism.
 
It's just another name for the widely accepted home-brew solution: distilled water 800ml, isopropyl alcohol 200ml, Ilfotol 5ml

Luke 6:37-42 "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. " or is this a case of 'do what I say, not do what I do'.

I tend not to I must admit, and let things air dry after the VC-S's vacuum has done its thing.

Unless you've got expensive Microfibre cloths, from experience, I've found that Microfibre cloths can leave Microfibres behind.
