I'm late to the party here--I've been traveling, and haven't had as much time as I'd like to test. But I've also been quite impressed with the fluids. I've been using Disc Doctor fluids and brushes on my VPI 16.5, and getting excellent results. But I noticed that the DD stuff was unable to lift all the appearance of fingerprint residue off thrift store records. Paul's stuff, on the other hand, wipes these discs clean. I have the sense that background noise is correspondingly reduced, maybe not by huge amount, but enough to be noticeable. So far, I recommend Paul's stuff highly.
