Comments about Edwal Edwal Anti-Stat Film Cleaner, for Black & White and Color Films, 32 Oz. Can:

Best overall film cleaner I have found. I restore 16mm film. I use it in an applicator between two rewinds. Barely dampen the flannel cloth, and you will see the dirt of years of neglect float onto the cloth.
Keep advancing the cloth roll several times on the first run-through. Then run the film through two or three more times. This product will give the film a sheen and restore film you thought cound not be saved. I also use it on a small patch of flannel to manually clean stubborn areas, like old tape splices. Film projects quieter, too. Just DO NOT saturate the cleaning pads...this product WILL leave mottled areas on film of you over-dampen your pad. Just use enough to BARELY wet your cleaning material. The product stores well, and since you are not saturating the film a container of the goes a long way. Be sure to use in a well-ventilated area.

I collect and sell 16mm projected films and this cleaner dries quickly and will leave the film smooth and dirt free for quiet & sharp projection. Other cleaners dry very slowly and will sometimes spot film if it they are not used properly. Edwal will leave the film clean and spot free if used as follows: Use film cleaning pads, go over the entire film three to four feet at a time (or where desired) by hand and buff each section lightly immediatly with a clean dry pad for the best result. I use this product and believe it to give the best result even on extremely dirty film (which at times may need to be gone over twice). [...]
