D4 left residue on my records and did not clean them at all. I transfer LP's to CD and have found Gruve Glide to be the best product on the market. I hope this deters you from purchasing a product that does not work. Don't waste your time. Buy Gruve glide instead.
Nothing helps with scratches or skips due to damage to the grooves themselves, but this product will give you an inexpensive way to hear the full reproduction of the music without any particulate matter causing clicks or pops. This stuff works great. Removes minute particles and provides the best cleaning for great sound, other than owning a very expensive vacuum cleaning system.
I give it 4 stars; only because it should come in a larger size for archiving albums to your computer (a big job). If you still listen to albums or are copying them to your computer, this stuff is a requirement for lifting dust, fingerprints or anything off the surface of the album before playing. It is not just isopropyl alcohol and the formula lifts debris, however small, from the grooves in the record so your record brush can remove them from the surface of the record before playing.
I am lucky to live in an area where I can buy D4 in record stores. With the associated application kit, this does a great job and the records (and files) sound very clear. I have used this since the 80's and am using it intensely now as I copy my vinyl to digital (sigh). I also use an anti-static gun.
This product did an excellent job of cleaning up old groves. I'm digitizing my record collection.
