I use the Doctor's Miracle Record Cleaner for cleaning vinyl (and most 
everything else as well). I vacuum dry it with a modified wet vac. The 
modification is that I have attached soft felt on the plastic attachment.

I would use RIAA EQ for such recordings and tweak by ear.

Also be sure to center the records properly. Very few records are on 
center.
