Question 78rpm record cleaners

Has anyone used Armor All to wipe off the 78s?

Default cleaning 78's

NOOOOOOOOOOO! The chemicals in old 78's (some made of shellac) may easily start to dissolve and soften if you use anything like armorall.
The best way to clean any records is with a Discwasher brush system. They're still available, cost about 20 bucks. I've been cleaning LP's for about 25 years with one, and it's amazing how clean you can keep them.
