"VC-E2 is our new compact record cleaning machine with completely new, superior features. The dry brush cleaning before playing the record is good to roughly remove dust. To effectively clean the grooves, you need to wet clean the record. To achieve the perfect cleaning, we also need a suitable cleaning fluid. Alcoholic cleaning fluids can destroy musical micro information of the grooves. That‘s the reason we designed our new eco-friendly Wash it 2 non-alcoholic cleaning fluid, pre-mixed so you don‘t have to dilute the concentrate yourself anymore. This avoids accidentally using unsuitable tap water for mixing." - Pro-Ject
