Best LP cleaner fluid for fingerprints

Several vinyl audiophiles recommended “Audio Intelligent Vinyl Solutions” to me. I can honestly say it the best cleaner I’ve ever used in all respects, and really brings out some detail in my LP’s that I’ve not heard before in my analog system, (Teres 360, Tri-Planar arm, ZYX R-100 cartridge)
It’s a three step cleaning system starting with their Enzymatic Formula.

IPA is a lousy solvent for grease and oils.

Put a drop of oil on a rag and try to clean the spot with IPA.

It won't do anything but smear.

Just to expand on what Dougdeacon and Lak mentioned, if the fingerprints have been on the records for any length of time, the skin oils will etch the surface of the record. This means that even though you have removed the skin oil contaminant from the record a fingerprint-shaped mark will likely remain. This mark may result in a very low level hiss or crackle during playback, or may not be noticeable at all.

Todd The Vinyl Junkie has an "enzyme based" fluid that he claims takes care of this and has pictures to "prove it." I am tempted to try it.

"IPA is a lousy solvent for grease and oils."

Audiofeil - you're kidding right? I have to beg to differ. The topic was cleaning fingerprints off a hard surface, not laundering clothes. IPA is widely used in industry as a solvent for a range of organics and as a degreaser and cleaner (e.g., for optics). One of the concerns using it on LPs (as I'm sure you're aware)is leaching out plasticizers and other additives (hence the 7:1 dilution and comment about limited time on the vinyl surface).

To Rushton, Dougdeacon and others - wasn't claiming dilute IPA is the best but it is certainly cost-effective and as such is an economical first step for removing heavy soiling and conserving more expensive proprietary products. BTW - once I get through the KAB solution I'm using as a 2nd step, I'll begin using the AI products I purchased.
