I was an RRL user for years, but always found it beneficial to use enzymes on noisier records. Back then I used Buggtussel, which eliminated many clicks and pops. Vacuuming is done on our Loricraft PRC-3.
When AIVS came out with its current fluids, including an enyme step, I tried them and they worked much better. I also learned that RRL Super Vinyl Wash sometimes contained a leave-behind lubricant that made for quiet backgrounds but smothered the life out of the music. Grrr! IME AIVS's Enymatic is the ONLY fluid that removes that layer. (Note: MoFi branded SVW does not contain any lubricant.)
Then MoFi came out with its own enzyme fluid, which you're trying now. I A/B'd that extensively with AIVS and had a slight preference for the latter, partly for the reason noted above. Either enzyme fluid is clearly better than Deep Cleaner, which I find does little. I have some left over that I'll never use.
FWIW, my current regimen involves 4 AIVS fluids, including two rinses with their Ultra Pure Water (audibly superior to plain distilled, at least in our system). Every step adds audible benefits or we wouldn't do it, but it does take time and cost more. How far one chooses to go is of course a personal decision.
As for steaming, I've tried it and I've A/B'd a friend's steam-cleaned record with my AIVS regime. No contest. If anyone wants to buy a barely used steamer...
