Opinion - Kaiu Record Cleaning Set

Hi, has anyone experience with this kit? I really could use a new brush and stylus cleaner, that's really it.

Opinions or feedback?

Thank you!

Even though I have no experience with it, doesn't stop me from rendering an opinion.

Looks like too much for too little.

Paul, thanks.  So you think for $29 to get two brushes, stylus cleaner and record cleaning solution is too much?  Please so me where I can get a good stylus cleaner like Last or Mofi, which are $30 a bottle?
Thanks

Sonny give them a try, looks like good value for money.
I use Furutech's SK-III anti-static brush, now that is over priced.

I just might.  I currently use an Audioquest Anti-Static brush.  I just need some new Stylus cleaner like last or Mofi, but can't believe it's $30 a bottle!

For my stylus cleaning i use 2 things. DS Audio’s ST-50 and Flux Hifi Sonic.
I use the ST-50 after each side and the Flux at the end of every listening session.

Thanks!  I use the ONZOW after each record and last every few records.  Once in a while, I'll use the stylus brush to get tough grime out. I used to use the Mr. Clean Erasure but am always afraid the stylus or cantilever will catch.

Sticky Hands toys are the same gel as Onzow and other stylus cleaners and costs pennies instead of $69 or whatever they're selling it for now. 

The liquid and brush cleaners are okay for maintenance cleaning, but don't get out all the grime.  For $29 it seems like a good deal for what you get.  For deep cleaning I use a three step enzime cleaner and rinse with a vacuum machine.  After that nothing but a good anti static brush is needed.

Thanks for the note on the sticky stuff!  I bought the Onzow years ago, still works today. Just wash with soap and reuse.

I just need the stylus solution like Last or Mofi, but there must be a DIY recipe for it, no?
