Vinyl Cleaning Fluid for VPI RCM

I have a VPI HW 17. I had been using Torumat fluid. I had 2 gallons I bought a few years ago and just recently ran out. It seems they must be out of business because I can not find it anywhere. If you know a source, can you let me know? If its not available, can you give me recommendations on a commercial cleaner that you like with the VPI or other machines(I don't want to mix my own concoction). Thanks for any input.

Record Research Labs has some very good cleaning fluids. And VPI has some, as well, I believe.

How about VPI's fluid? I manually clean with Disc Dr. and like it. Good luck.

Garakawa, I was in the same boat as you once, having used Torumat for some time before running out. In the time since, I have tried virtually every commerically available fluid and a host of home brews. Another member here, Albert Porter, offered several folks free samples of RRL fluids to try, which is where I learned of it. I decided to order some and it has worked exceedingly well for me (I use a 16.5). I've tried lots of others since, but for the best combination of performance, application, failure to leave any sort of resiude or sonic impact, and peace of mind that it will do no harm to records, RRL fluids belong on the very top shelf.
