Hello, I have been using the formula found in the December 1996 Stereophile for years with outstanding results. Have not seen better. Send me an email and I will forward a .pdf file of the page where it appears.
Everybody has their favorites but the bottom line is, despite all the marketing and chest thumping, you're only removing a small amount of dirt/grease/oil from a plastic disc.
Audiofeil, I don't recall anyone mentioning in this post that cleaning a record was 'Rocket Science'. Just a fellow looking for a way to obtain record cleaner. For years, it was hard to find, so many of us just started making it. We all know it's not difficult. No reason to try and belittle someone just because they don't have your obvious 'mastery' of rocket science. They just posed a question, in which some of us are willing to help answer.
Nothing (maybe exept ultrasound) cleans vinyl LP's better than hot water with detergent/washing up liquid/rinse aid and a squeeze of isopropylalchohol. Water must be warm but not anymore than you can have your hands in it. Use a genuine hair brush. Use Groovmaster label protector. http://www.stephsrecordsale.com/cleaning.html
Dry LP's with a drilling machine as a kind of centrifuge.
A lot of custom made fluids for cleaning records are damaging or not leaving the vinyl and attracting dust and dirt.
