Answer
You can purchase a pint of clock cleaning solution at the following web address:
http://www.norkro.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=25&products_i...
It mixes with 8 parts of water to make over one gallon of cleaner. This is plenty to clean your movement.
It has to ship by UPS ground and can't be shipped to Hawaii or countries outside of the USA.
Please note: You must remove the mainsprings from the barrels to clean them. If you try to clean the mainspring inside the barrels you will never get all of the liquid out of them and they will corrode and break in a few months. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks, Michael
