Best Record Cleaning Process on a Loricraft

Hi all, I'm looking for advice on record cleaning fluids/proceedure for use on a Loricraft PRC-3. Have used up the L'Art du Son fluid which came with the machine. I've been reasonably happy with the results but suspect there are better fluids and routines to use. I've been doing a simple one fluid application process where I apply the fluid, brush it in and then remove fluid with the Loricraft arm and thread.

I'm willing to add a step or two to this, but not willing to spend 20 minutes a side. Most of my records are purchased new.

I use both L'art du Son and AIVS 3 step on my PRC4. L'art du Son is very effective in both time and quality of sound, so I use it most of the time. AIVS definitely provides better sound, but is much more time consuming (15 min a side or so, assuming you stay on the ball) so I tend to save it for really good recordings that I listen to on a regular basis.

Incidentally, I did quite a few A/B/C expts. when I still had my last RCM. In my experience, the improvement of the Loricraft over my last RCM was literally orders of magnitude larger than the difference between AIVS and L'art du Son.
