i have been trying to find some

remind me not to buy any records off bingi brother!

And Soldierz1, did you fall asleep halfway through your post?

huh, so no one uses ultrsonic anymore? It vibrates the soapy water and does a hella job w/out vacuums and coolers and such. It also wets the label just enough so a light blotting cleans it without damaging . BTW, that oily residue, if from Jamaica, is diesel fuel, which many many people there use to buff records with. Plain old water w/ dish detergent seems to dissolve it, the water in my cleaner turns pink. Also, you may be disturbed to know that the operator's usual reflex b4 slapping down a record is to 'clean' it/ buff it on his shirt sleeve. Jamaica is where the fist-to-fist greeting replaced the handshake, for a reason, cuz things get mighty greezey and grimey there.

3 parts disttilled water,1 part rubbing alchol,6 DROPS of dish soap
use a clean cotton cloth.Use a 9 oz spray bottle for the formula.Its as good as any commercial cleaner.
