Stitch I agree about these new re-issue crap, I wouldn't waste my time and money on them anymore. Used records that I have bought around the time I purchased this enzyme cleaner were visually in good shape . I played a couple first with the usual surface noise then cleaned them with my old brew two step method.
Then re-cleaned them with this enzyme soak method most did become quieter.
I did not go to the extemes that Adrian did and test other cleaning methods for comparions however for now it works for me.

From what I gather these enzymes die off only when activated a few hours after mixing them with water, by then you have already cleaned the amount of records you want to do. In other words you can not keep a pre-mix on hand for later use.

In the long run if this enzyme soak method proves itself, I'm sure one could buy active enzymes from other non audio related sources and make your own brew of cleaning solutions for far less.
