Record cleaning fluids

Hi again guys.

I usually use a Clearaudio cleaning fluid in my Clearaudio Smart Matrix. Some people says that this liquid produces static problems on records.

Sometimes I've to clean two or three times some records that it is supposed to be cleaned, because they are new ones or in mint condition.

Do you know a better cleaning fluid for the use in machines? Wich is the best?

Thanks a lot for your opinions.

The Walker Audio Prelude Record Cleaning System has outperformed every cleaner I've tried, and that has been quite a few over 30 years.

I'm a fan of Record Research, now Mobile Fidelity Super Wash.

Just to maintain balance and confusion, I prefer AIVS (Audio Intelligent Vinyl Solutions) over the others I've tried.

Now THAT'S a helpful thread! ;)

I am confirming Rushton's vote for the Walker Prelude System.

I also use the MFSL Superwash but only for quick cleaning of visitors' records or to get an initial impression of a used record before I use the Walker cleaning. I find it works well but not nearly as well as the Walker for serious record collecting and listening.
