Hello, i am having difficulty cleaning slides because of scratches. It seems that anything used to clean a Kodachrome causes small scratches. I have tried cotton wipes, tp, kimwipes, lens cleaning tissue. I never use the same wipe twice. I do exactly what the Kodak website recommends for cleaning. Still i get minute hairline scratches.
So I am looking into ways to clean transparencies without any physical contact. I think the ultrasonic is the way to go. Industrial ultrasonic cleaners are very cheap at industrial surplus sales, i already have two here at home and either would work fine for cleaning trannies. So what I am asking is about is the solvent. Kodak's site recommends various types of Naptha (the actual page presents a much more complex situation) I am hoping to hear from anyone who cleans slides or trannies using any solvent, i would like to know what works or what doesn't from your personal experience. I agree that Edwall is good, i have used it for ten years. It costs about $25 a pint, which is about five times what a solvent should cost.
