Tergikleen or AIVS formula 15?

I've got both fluids here that I can use for pre cleaning.

I have 2 spin clean machines one is for washing and the other one is just for rinsing the pre-cleaner off the record before going into the Degritter ultrasonic. 

The Tergikleen is a little more convenient as it's a concentrate that I can mix up and put into Spin Clean #1. The AI fluid is less fun to use since i have to put the record on a work mat and work the fluid in with a MoFi brush before rinsing it off. 

I'm wondering if anyone here has found that one fluid works better than the other? I haven't been through enough records to pick out the difference yet.

2 Spin Cleans AND a Degritter? 

You must be a bin diver, finding those grungy, undesirable gems? I do the same thing, except pass on those that would warrant such effort.

 A drop in the Degritter and be done with it, is what I would expect. 

Been using a Spin Clean for 15 years or so, while procrastinating purchase of a proper US. Still waiting for the 1/2 off, fire sale of a DG/Audiodesk... Good thing I'm not holding my breath!

Your setup appears to a perfect excuse to lose track of time and accomplish nothing else in the day-not that it's a bad thing!
