DIY Record Cleaning Solution

I just purchased a vpi 17 record cleaner. I'd like to make my own solution. Any suggestions? What has worked for you?

I'd be interested to hear what you use for cleaning your records. For Jimateo, search the archives. Use whatever the hell formula you want on your records. Be aware that there is no one cleaner that will work in all circumstances if you buy used records. You will need an alcohol based-cleaner (not on those old 78's!) and you will probably at some point need an enzyme-based cleaner. You will always need a good, quality rinse water.

However, by talking down to people Maclogan is alienating himself. I simply asked if he would be willing to share his own formula for cleaning LPs. I have no plans to attack him on this, even if he uses brillow pads.
