Vinyl Cleaning Fluid for VPI RCM


I have a VPI HW 17. I had been using Torumat fluid. I had 2 gallons I bought a few years ago and just recently ran out. It seems they must be out of business because I can not find it anywhere. If you know a source, can you let me know? If its not available, can you give me recommendations on a commercial cleaner that you like with the VPI or other machines(I don't want to mix my own concoction). Thanks for any input.

I have used a few different cleaning solutions, and was always on a quest to find something better.

I tried Brian Weitzle's RRL products and took an immediate liking to them.

I am so satisfied that both of his formulas are now my mainstay.

I do look forward to trying Paul's formula, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

As far as the hand lotion thing-- I find Brian's products so very clean that I bet they wouldn't half bad as a chaser.... ehh, maybe not the vinyl wash as a chaser.

nevermind :)

I am not affiliated with RRL in any way, just a happy camper.

Torumat fluid, I'm not aware of. I have a regiment with Harry's VPi machine that includes the Nitty Gritty First precleaner (now available again), a rinse, then the Disc Doctor cleaner, then a rinse, with good results for records that are second hand. For the new ones I use strictly the Disc Doctor and a rinse with distilled water. Mostly to get rid of the mold release chemicals. This works quite nice. Garakawa have you seen the "Zen and the Art of Record Cleaning Made Difficult" article? it is worthy of review and can be found at:

It is a bit over the top but helpful. Cheers!
Sorry about the CAPS. I am too lazy to to mess with the shift key. Here is your proof of evidence.I will give you my address where you can send me your system.

Maybe I could use the RRL on my face after shaving.I did not like it on my records. J.K.
OK, so your "proof" says that Trisodium EDTA is in a bunch of personal care products, and a favorite of Revlon. There is nothing there with any link whatsover to any record cleaning products of any kind. As I figured, my system is safe where it sits. Think of something else to wash the egg from your face with. Oy.....
