"Now I'm going to show you how to apply the cleaner. There are really are a handful of possibilities of how you can apply it , and I'll show you what works best for me. Now you've got your record, you pull out your record, making sure not to touch the inside. Pop your cap off your cleaner. I like to apply the cleaner directly to the record itself. Now you don't need to use that much cleaner, it really goes a long way. I just spray it right on the record, oh this is new, let me, here we go, get a good mist going. Keep it a little bit away, I just spray it right on the record itself. And two sprays is good enough for a side, it's got your record pretty saturated. If you want to you could shoot it right on to the medium you're using, like the cloth that you're using to wash. But I actually find that then your cloth is going to get soaked faster, and you might end up using too much and the record will get too wet and then it takes longer to dry. And I like to put it right on the record itself."
