About a month ago I ran into an old Audiophile friend who I hadn't seen in about 25 years. He recognized me and asked if I still made my record cleaning solutions. ( I used to be a Chemist working with delicate devices that used vinyl compartments to analyze chemicals. I had access to the best vinyl detergents known) I still had 2 quarts that I had made 15 years ago. I use them on record collections that I buy. He offered to set me up with a lab in his house. In order to make this worth while, I'm going to have to get some distribution. I am working on that now. If anyone wants to help me get some distribution, contact me. Here is the proposed retail price schedule that I have set up Every Day Cleaner ( Remove dust and loose dirt ) $13.95 per qt, $9.95 per pt, $6.95 per 1/2 pt Deep Cleaner ( Really clean filthy records ) $24.95 per qt, $17.95 per pt, $12.95 per 1/2 pt Preservative ( Puts an ultra thin layer of protectant on your records helps fill in tiny imperfections ) $29.95 per 8 oz, $19.95 per 4 oz, $13.95 per 2 oz
