I've been trusting LAST Factory products, for maintaining styluses and vinyl, since the very early 80's.
Using their LAST RCM Fluid, with my VPI 16.5, hasn't reduced my trust in the least. Seems to do an excellent job and leaves nothing behind (that I can discern).
I would have stuck with VPI's Concentrate, but for having to find water that's clean/deionized enough for the purpose (trust issues and lazy, I suppose). VPI's stuff seemed to work well, in both my first VPI HW-16 and the 16.5.
My applying Last Record Preservative, soon as the vinyl's side is dry, might be considered a, "second step".
"Rice paper" inner sleeves, of course.
