What he said.
I put all records I buy, new or used, through my VPI16.5 first before playing them. I can't remember the last time I had any significant build up after playing a record. Nonetheless, I dry clean with AT-637 after every three or four records, and wet clean with just enough SPT on the pad to moisten the stylus once every dozen or 15 records.
