Author Topic: Film cleaning products... Alex Grasic Film Handler Posts: 90 From: Toronto, ON, Canada Registered: Jul 2002 posted 08-11-2002 01:38 AM                     I'm looking for some help in finding out what I would need for a good film cleaning media. I was reading through the Filmguard information and I'm all for it. The only thing is that I'm not too familiar with the medium needed to apply it to the film...can anyone help me out with this??  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

The "house" brand is Film-Tech media...available from your local theatre dealer. Kelmar (the makers of the cleaners) has two medias...white and green. They are different medias in both material and length with the green being longer and more aggressive. White being softer and shorter. I recommend the white for older, chain drive, cleaners. Neumade also has a media that will work.
