Oh yes, A black plastic cylinder with an applicator head. It worked rather
well
but was very expensive, a cylinder used up for every dozen cleaned records.
In our house we called it DiscoSnot. Don't recall the real name.
My last use of it was the cleaning of a batch of opaque red vinyl 78s
of the Concert Hall persuasion for broadcast use - among others a Barber
Capricorn Concerto, Ives songs, and a Copland Danzon Cubano in black vinyl.

Yes, that's it, thanks. Apparently it's now used for cleaning camera
lenses or sensors or something.

You can still do that today, with ordinary white glue such as Elmer's®
