There's probably nothing wrong with your use of an industrial strength cleaner under those circumstances as long as it's "safe" for plastics. Except "safe" usually just means it won't MELT the plastic! What such cleaners WILL do, is leach any remaining vinyl solvents out of the old record (if there are even any remaining!) So once you've cleaned the thing to within an inch of its life ;-) I recommend you treat it with Last Record Preservative; this being the one situation in which I WOULD use this product. LRP will replace the lost solvents, swelling the vinyl and closing up the tiny fissures that (irreversibly) develop when vinyl dries out. Doing this will reduce surface noise further -- just remember not to use too much, and to buff it out real well with the Last buffing tool before you play the record. It may take a couple of plays for the stylus to burnish the grooves properly, so check your stylus for grunge ;-)
