Try Audio Intelligent Vinyl Solutions. I have tried many home made formulas and RRL which is very good AIVS is I think the best.
Follow Ups:
I've used it happily for about 18 months. Finally decdided to try RRL after all the raves here. I went to my favorite used record place (thank you, Second Story Books) and picked up copies of records to match ones I already had). I ended up with five pairs of LPs, using AIVS Enzymatic Solution on all of them, followed by the AIVS cleaner on one of the pairs of LPs and the RRL Super Wash on the other. No claim of a scientific comparo here, since all the records were used to begin with -- although they LOOKED okay and were mostly free of clicks and pops -- and heaven only knows what they were played with before I got 'em.So far, 5 of my friends have listened to the pairs of records on three different systems without knowing which record was treated with which product, and the AIVS-treated LPs were preferred in most cases (2 of the 5 record pairs elicited mixed responses).
It might have been different if one of the pairs had been treated first with the RRL deep cleaner. I don't know. All I'm really saying is that the AIVS stuff is competitive with RRL and may be better. What always bothered me about the descriptions by RRL users was that some residue appeared -- sometimes -- to remain on the records after treatment and ended up on the stylus. Since I've never encountered this using AIVS, it just seemed strange to me, as if the records were not getting totally clean.
Disk Doctor but not about RRL. No gunk - ever. Wondering why I even bought my Onzow "Zerodust" because I've been unable to leave a "spot" on it yet.Now I just use (dry) my old discwasher brush between sides and (usually a session) apply Stylast.

... that I had promised Jack Seaton the rest of my RRL after I tried it if I didn't like it. Got about 2/3 of a bottle of SVW left after trying it on quite a few records in addition to the five I tested it with. It works okay. I just like the AIVS better. Jack, if you want it, send me your address.The "schmutz" link will bring up a couple of instances of RRL users who reported black deposits on their styli after using RRL. Not BECAUSE of the RRL, I hasten to add :-)
