Record Cleaner Fluid suggestions

I'm looking for suggestions for a simple and quick "1 step process" record cleaner to use with my Loricraft. I'm currently using the L'Art du Son cleaner but finding it too time consuming. I prefer an effective fluid that I can apply and vacuum quickly and without any required rinsing. I can always go back to the L'Art du Son when needed.

I am the one the Theo refers to in his post. I have used the L'Art du Son, (thanks Theo...he has been very nice to share his stash of L'Art du Son with me), for over three years now. I never have to leave it on for more than a few seconds. I have tried alot of other fluids and find the L'Art du Son to be one of the best.

I've had my VPI record cleaner since 1980, so I'm pretty familiar with how to use it.

It works, for me, the same as any other 1 step fluid. I never rinse the record after using the L'Art du Son. Not sure why the OP thinks he has to leave it on for so long. I can see that for a very dirty record, but for regular cleaning, it's not necessary.

My records sound wonderful and IMHO, the L'Art du Son is an excellent fluid.

Once the L'Art du Son runs out, I was planning to switch to the Audio Intelligence (#6) one step fluid. I have read many good things about it. You might try that.

I still really feel that the L'Art du Son can be used in the same matter, but whatever you fell comfortable with.
