Sony, Maxell, TDK, Polaroid? i have seen both wet and dry head cleaner tapes. what are the pros and cons here? another customer in the store told me he was told to bring unit in to the dealer (not LaBelles) for "professional cleaning". if Beta or VHS influences the answer, i'd appreciate knowing as we have both.
