Believe me, Brad has been doing all that he can with Cinemark Purchasing to get the product into the company. I also work for Cinemark in Plano TX and we have a Director at our location too. I have approached him as has my Booth Manager trying to explain and demonstrate the benefits. This week we are going to see if we can buy direct from a local distributor and reimburse through petty cash. My manager said it would be no problem getting re-imbursed. You may want to check this out also. The print of Pitch Black is shedding like a Dog and I have no more FilmGuard to use. We were able to get two bottles directly from Brad when the product was first available for use. Thank You Brad. Now it is a matter of "sneaking" it in through petty cash. We also have had a problem getting Christie Autowind brackets because we already have cleaner brackets on all our projectors. Trouble is that they were installed under the CAT-701 heads and we haven't wanted to go through and put them on top and change the Dolby offset. Easy I know, but our tech is sensitive about changing things like this. Paul Konen Cinemark Legacy 24

We use Filmguard. I'm glad, it doesn't seperate, and it's in a good bottle setup. C-lube is good too, but it seperates, so you have to shake it up, and it's in small bottles with flimsy pumps. Havenlt ever tried xecote. We do have a full can of Rennovent or restovent, or something like that. It's in a metal can, and has standard warnings, and it could deplete the ozone layer and cause children with 3 eyes, and make you see stuff, etc. It's crazy. I've not used it, and I suspect its been in there a while. I'm not sure what Regal uses officially, or what we're authorized to use or where we get it. I still have a full bottle, and 1/2 of the bottle I'm currently using of FG, so I have plenty of time not to worry. And if all fails, and I run out of time, I have 1 can of the toxic/radioactive film cleaner.
