best fluid for vpi 16.5 cleaner non-vpi brand?

Michael,
Over the past 25 years I have used various brands of cleaning fluid.
The most effective so far with fabulous results is the Walker Audio active enzyme cleaning solution.

Money back guarantee.
It does everything the ad says it will do.

No exaggeration and bull here.

I'm sure there are other active enzyme base cleaners on the market that are just as effective.

It's a 4 step process and takes minutes to do both sides of an Lp. A double final rinse is recommended.

If this is your first record cleaning machine, you are going to be thrilled.

Wait till you hear your favorite music....

These record cleaning solutions that use "active enzymes" is the key.

Active enzymes are used for cleaning, sterilizing on a microbe level in the medical and laboratory fields.

You are not going to find a superior cleaner or any other method that even approaches the results of what active enzymes will do.

A cleaned Lp with enzymes rendered shocking sonic results with recorded music I thought I knew well.

The end results are that good....

I purchased the Walker deluxe Prelude kit from a local dealer.
He told me straight up...follow the directions, clean a few Lps, then play them.
If you do not hear an improvement or do not like this cleaning solution for any reason, return it for a full refund.

Off the top of my head.
The prelude deluxe kit comes with three directional brushes with replacement pads and a tray to set them in as you go through the cleaning steps.

A small jar of active enzymes, a mixing bottle,with filler lines marked on the bottle, two sized very tiny spoons to scoop the enzymes for mixing, depending on how many Lps you want to clean.
This is to be mixed with the supplied laboratory grade water.

A bottle of liquid cleaner for the second step and a bottle of laboratory grade water including extra lab water for rinsing.

Also you get a nifty 6 inch cobalt blue ruler in case you need one.

There is nothing complicated with using this method of cleaning at all.

I have cleaned quite a few Lps, I'm just starting to get low on the lab grade water, I also use it to wash out the brushes.

Anyway, $135.00 for the kit is expensive, however I was offered a full refund on the initial purchase.

Check it out....
