 - slide or film cleanerI had some old 1950's slides that had mold (?) spots. I read good reviews on this product and ordered it. I tested it first on some unimportant film and it worked fine. Unfortunately on one of my important slides it scratched it. I was also using the "tiger cloth" so not sure what could have scratched. I still recommend it but be very careful and test first. Rating:  - Great cleaner!I used this to clean the rust, mold and dust off of 50-year-old 8mm film reels, and I have nothing bad to say about it! It cleaned the film well, didn't hurt the emulsion, and dried quickly so that I could motorizing my cleaning. I cleaned two 7-inch (400-foot) 8mm reels twice with this bottle before it ran out, so if you're only needing one cleaning, you can expect to get around 1600 feet of cleaning for 8mm reels. And when it says ventilate well, it means VENTILATE WELL! I started to get a little nauseated before I listened to the tag, and won't make that mistake again. Rating:  - Movie Film Cleaner a Must-HaveIf you have old 8mm or Super 8 movies that you want to convert to digital using a projector and a camcorder; then you definitely want to use a cleaner/lubricant on the film. Otherwise the old, dry, brittle film running through the projector will surely get irreversibly damaged with very visible scratches and possible breaks. Also years of accumulated dirt and lint will show up on your videos as well. (I found out the hard way.) This product is well worth the price and will help preserve your film.
