Pec-12 is invaluable for a lot of little jobs.

I love Pec-12 since I first came across it at a computer or photo show years ago. It really removes marks (such as Sharpie) off of film emulsion, glossy prints, and also removes sticky glue, etc. This is my “go to” solution in my studio. Too bad it’s gotten a bit pricey.

PEC-12 positive film cleaner

It is early summer here and I have not put a lot of time indoors using the product. I have cleaned only 1 dozen or so 35-mm slides. The product worked great. Three of the slides I had to give a second treatment. These slides have been in storage for 20 to 50 years. I am very pleased with the results of using PEC-12. I am sure that with experience I will be able to get them even cleaner. At this point I do have to use Photoshop to remove a few or up to a couple dozen dirt/hair spots.

Works great but Pricey

When paired with Pec-Pads, this is great for cleaning some of the grunge off prints for scanning. A bit pricey but little required for spot cleaning.

Great solutions for slide and negative cleaning

PEC-12 worked amazingly well in cleaning 30-60 year old slides and negatives. It evaporates very quickly and leaves no residue.
