I use Wittner's Professional Film Cleaner.

Widescreen centre seem to be a bit offhand when it comes to 8mm at the moment.

Have you asked

Tim:Slightly off topic I know but...............
Your comments on the off-handed attitude re 8mm at The Widescreen Centre hardly surprises me.At this moment in time they sell the MOST expensive film stocks in the country.External competition may be hitting them.

Thanks Tim.
Yep, I sent an emal to simply cine, nothing yet. I'll have a look at that other link though, thanks.

Old Uncle Barry,
If that's the case you'd think they'd be glad of my business however small! I had a problem before when I ordered some film leader. They should have a 'minimum order that we can be bothered to get involved with' message on their site rather than just ignore emails. I'm sorry, it just makes me mad.

EDIT
I had a look at the site Tim, but can't read it!
