Special formulation means 'ching ching ching' in the cash register. I will keep using my 'c-h-e-a-p' p/s fluid. If I can get one at 99 cents store then that is the one I am going to use. As per other forums that price is not a determinating factor.

Disclaimer: use cheap p/s fluid at your own peril.
