When I had a record with a stain on the vinyl NOTHING else would touch, he sent me some "special cleaning mixture" that took it right off and the record played like new.

Not about the Iraq oil but about the minute reissue of oils that are left on surface of record. I have to admit that I have my insecure felling about the situation when an old record starts to play like new after a wash or treatment. In my past I used many different improving liquids that made record to sound very smooth and with very little surface noise.  Eventually I realized that it is not good as it diminished the differences that I was able to get from records. So, what all improving liquids did was an introduction of various levels of oil on the record’s surface that minimized the tension that needle experienced. I agree that in completely de-oil environment the noise is higher, but the sound (tonal differences, dynamic fluctuations and so on…) are also higher…
