How much crud gets left on the film definitely relates back to the lab.  I
take all my film to a local pro lab that's Kodak "Q" certified or to another
small shop that's careful with quality control.  I recently took a shortcut
with some "happy snaps" and processed them through a local supermarket
(which sends them to a Kodak lab) and was amazed at the amount of "stuff"
that was left on the film.  

As for cleaning film, I have a static master brush, a selection of
microporous cleaning cloths and for the really stubborn stuff PEC-12 and PEC
pads.

Hi Frank and all,

<snip>

Funnily enough, the lab that does the almost "spotless" film is a little
one-man band, and happens to be pretty cost effective compared to the
chemist down the road from them that sends the film away, which in turn is
better priced than the big chain chemist with in-house equipment. The two
chemist labs are about equal on "spotiness".

Just my thoughts on the subject...
