Vinyl Cleaning Fluid for VPI RCM

I have a VPI HW 17. I had been using Torumat fluid. I had 2 gallons I bought a few years ago and just recently ran out. It seems they must be out of business because I can not find it anywhere. If you know a source, can you let me know? If its not available, can you give me recommendations on a commercial cleaner that you like with the VPI or other machines(I don't want to mix my own concoction). Thanks for any input.

Oh, one more question for anyone reading....

Can I use RRL deep cleaner/super vinyl wash on 78rpm records. I just acquired a bunch along with some LPs and have never cleaned 78s. THey are in good condition but VERY dirty. I think they will need an initial bath but not sure if RRL or other commercial fluids are okay for shellac. Thanks.

hmmm....so, my new question is RRL or vaseline intensive care lotion???? LOL!! Anyway, thanks to all of you for your insightful comments. I am going to try the RRL, but make sure that as a final step, I rinse the vinyl in distilled water. If I don't like it, I can always will stop by Brooks' place when I am in LA and he starts selling it.....Brooks sold me my turntable and other stuff so I consider him a friend....not a plug. Thanks again.
