Hi Steve, I have an original Colortune500 kit which must be 30 Years old and 
it still has all of the original documentation with it.

The bottle doesn't have any labels or markings on it but the documentation 
states that the cleaning fluid is Ammonium Acetate SOL. B.P. (Diluted 50% in 
Water)

Kindest Regards

Tom
