The diamond for the stylus is polished at by the manufacturer. We keep them clean.

IMO it is critical.I'm using a Nagaoka AM801 liquid cleaner for many years and I'm very satisfied with the results every time.I have never thought of trying anything more "exotic" or expensive.Very effective and reliable.
I have also never had any issues with damage to the tip glue or rubbers etc...

i prefer not to use anything in a clean record groove except a clean stylus

I wouldn't say it's critical but if you want to extend the life of your stylus, I'd recommend using it. I've been using Stylast stylus Treatment for around two years now after several guys here recommended it. Yea it's expensive for a little bottle but goes a very long way (still 3/4 left) and I figure anything I can do to extend the life of my stylus (some not replaceable) is a real plus.

I also use Stylast and highly recommend it, should be plenty in that little bottle for many years of use.
