cleaning vinyl. which cleaning fluid to use.

cracker? yes!

but, point taken

I have used both Record Research and my own homebrew with good results. The RR cleaner did seem to bead up more on the record compared to my cleaner which had less surface tension but both produced good results (with a good record vac). Given that I paid $25 for the RR stuff vs pennies for mine, I guess I will be making my own from now on.

I have only used Torumat. Never felt that I needed to try something else. Given the raves of RR- I will order to replace my now empty bottle. I think that Torumat though is well worth a try.

I thought Torumat was no longer produced. Or, maybe that is why your bottle is empty. (?)

I have had very good luck with the Disc Doctor cleaning system. Please remember to place your freshly washed treasure into a new high quality record sleeve.(I like the Disc Washer sleeves)
