Vinyl Record & CD Cleaning Services in Malaysia: Your Complete Guide

If you're searching for vinyl record cleaning services in Malaysia or a reliable CD resurfacing service near you, we've got you covered. At Audio Image, we offer a full range of hands-on care for your music collection — from deep record cleaning and warp repair to scratch resurfacing for CDs. Here's a complete rundown of everything we offer at our Petaling Jaya hi-fi store.


Vinyl Record Cleaning Services

Dust, grime, and static don't just dull your sound — they can damage your stylus and shorten the life of your records. Our vinyl care services are designed to fix that, using everything from our own vacuum cleaning system to the Kirmuss Ultrasonic Restoration System.

 

Vacuum Record Cleaning — RM5 per record

Looking for an affordable vinyl record cleaning service in Malaysia? Our vacuum record cleaning gently lifts years of dust, dirt, and fingerprints from your LPs using a 3-step brush system tailored to your record's condition, finished with our own vinyl-safe cleaning solution. Each record is dried and returned in a new protective sleeve.

Why choose vacuum record cleaning:

  • Safely removes dust, mold, and fingerprints
  • Reduces pops, crackle, and surface noise
  • Protects your stylus by keeping grooves cleaner
  • Quick and budget-friendly for regular care

 

Premium Ultrasonic Cleaning — RM10 per record

For collectors after a deeper way to clean vinyl records, our ultrasonic cleaning service uses the Kirmuss Ultrasonic Restoration System to remove old cleaning residues, plasticisers, and microscopic dirt. It's safe, non-abrasive, and ideal for restoring detail and clarity in old LPs and 45s. Every record comes with a complimentary anti-static inner sleeve.

Why choose ultrasonic cleaning:

  • Deep cleans grooves at a microscopic level
  • Brings out more detail, dynamics, and clarity
  • Safe for rare or valuable vinyl records
  • Ideal for restoring old LPs and 45s

Please note: ultrasonic cleaning removes dirt and residue but does not repair scratches or physical damage to the vinyl.

 

 

Vinyl Flattening — RM20 per press

If you've been wondering how to fix warped vinyl records, our flattening service uses controlled heat and pressure to restore moderately warped records closer to their original flat shape — fixing skips, distortion, and bouncing stylus issues while protecting your turntable in the process.

Why flatten your vinyl:

  • Fixes moderate warps for smoother tracking
  • Restores playback on skipped or distorted records
  • Protects your turntable and stylus from wear
  • Helps save valuable or collectible records

Before proceeding, we'll need to assess the extent of the warp — you can send us a video of the vinyl's side profile, or bring it into our store for us to check in person. The process takes around 4 hours per vinyl, and as we do have a queue, we'll drop off and call you once it's ready.

Disclaimer: Results vary depending on the severity and condition of the vinyl — we can't guarantee full restoration for every record, and some records may be declined after assessment (e.g. severely warped, cracked, or brittle vinyl).

 

 

Vinyl Cover Sleeves — RM3 Single / RM7 Double

If you're looking to buy outer record sleeves for LPs in Malaysia, our custom-fitted sleeves protect both single LPs and gatefold/double albums from dust, dirt, and shelf wear, keeping your album art vibrant for years. The durable, clear wrap-around design makes sliding records and inserts in and out easy and hassle-free.

 

 

Turntable Setup — RM200 per setup

A well-set-up turntable protects your records, your stylus, and your entire vinyl system. Our turntable setup service in Malaysia covers every precision adjustment needed for stable, accurate playback, including:

  • Proper levelling of your turntable
  • Vertical tracking force (VTF) adjustment using a calibrated gauge
  • Cartridge alignment for correct overhang
  • Anti-skate calibration
  • Azimuth adjustment (if applicable)
  • Stylus rake angle / vertical tracking angle (where applicable)
  • Cartridge stylus cleaning (ultrasonic or brushed)

We've worked with most popular turntable models, including the LP5X, LP7, LPW50BT, LPW40WN, and Rega Planar 1, 4, 3 RS, and 6.

We reserve the right to decline setup for units that are incompatible or require specialised repair.

 

CD Resurfacing Service — Starting from RM5 per disc

As the 1st audio CD resurfacing service in Malaysia, we provide a reliable solution for scratched, damaged, or unreadable discs. Using professional resurfacing and polishing techniques, our CD scratch repair process can restore discs suffering from playback errors, loading issues, or skipping — often helping you avoid the cost of a replacement altogether.

Our CD resurfacing service is ideal for:

  • Scratched audio CDs
  • Software and data CDs
  • Game and training discs
  • Archived or legacy media

 

The process:

  1. Inspection of disc damage
  2. Precision CD scratch repair using professional equipment
  3. Multi-stage CD repair polish to restore clarity
  4. Final quality check to confirm disc readability

 

Benefits of choosing CD disc repair over replacement:

  • Cost-effective alternative to buying new discs
  • Extends the lifespan of your CDs
  • Improves playback and data access reliability
  • Supports sustainability by reducing waste

This service is suitable for individuals, businesses, libraries, studios, and archives alike. Final pricing depends on the disc's condition and the extent of the scratches or damage, which we'll assess before starting any work.

Disclaimer: Disc polishing and resurfacing services do not guarantee full restoration or successful playback. Results may vary depending on the depth, location, and severity of scratches or damage. While the process can significantly improve disc condition, some scratches (including deep marks) may remain, and functionality cannot be guaranteed after treatment.
