Kudos to 4yanx for his generosity.
I haven't tried L'Art du Son so I can't offer a comparison. Otherwise I second what he said.
Any product which requires mixing requires a source of suitably pure water. Tap water certainly won't do, I ruined records with that before I learned better. Store-bought distilled won't do, it isn't pure enough for a final clean and rinse. Unless you have a source for highly filtered, distilled and deionized water, your results with home-mixed solutions are unlikely to match RRL's, which is based on such highly purifed water that no rinsing is ever necessary.
Except for Vinyl-Zyme to deal with mold spores, RRL is about all I use. It cleans all but the scummiest thrift shop LPs and - very important - never leaves any residue. RRL vacuums off easily and completely, which is not true of some other products. That makes it the RCF of choice for me.
