I will order from this guy next time. FYI i used to order FG from the US and shipped with UPS, NOT CHEAP! 
Now the shipping cost will not be a big issue anymore!
I have very successfully cleaned end of trailers policy tags & sales trailers. The method was by hand on the rewind bench with a Jay cloth as the application pad for the FilmGuard. As per the instructions, you need only to apply a small amount as it does spread, treating all areas of the film. I was concerned that it might effect the automation pulses being paper backed type, also the Cinemation pick-up roller, to the contrary, pulses have passed through perfectly every time. Normally I replace all pulses after 4 weeks run, they now look as lasting double that amount.
There is no doubt that FilmGuard can certainly clean film, I shall have to improve on my application methods, maybe with paper towelling next. I only wish that I could invest in a Kelmar cleaner with the media pads. I do however use PTR rollers as my most economical way of keeping mostly first run release prints clean, and I wouldn’t be without them!

We are half-way into our first week with Filmguard and, without dry web cleaners, are just applying to top and bottom of print. However the result so far has been outstanding. The first print i applied filmguard to has been a print that has been plagued with static every run. The first run after filmguard was applied ran smooth, and every run since. Also the machines are a bit cleaner after every run now.
So, i think the general consenus is NICE ONE BRAD!
Although Brad, one question i have about treating our films with filmguard this way, ie applying a coat to the top and bottom of a print using a cloth, does this only have to be done once in a prints life, or does it have to be "topped up" now and again?
To answer your question, just "top it off" and repeat what you are doing as needed. I would recommend once a week as a good place to start.
What is considered the most suitable material to use for hand application on the rewind bench for cleaning and lubrication. The UK Jay cloth (stronger than paper) seems to be efficient but could be wasteful as being too absorbent. I did try a Selvyt cloth which is superior to a chamois leather and can be washed when soiled, however I found that this was not sufficiently absorbent enough to hold the FilmGuard.
So far I am very impressed with the product. I shall look forward this week to trying edge lubricating my new copy of “Shrek”.
Many thanks.

We mainly used PTR rollers with every screening last year.
