Tap Magic Original is 90% 1,1,1 trichloroethylene. There are several

Lockheed phased out the use of 1,1,1 trichoroethane about 12 years ago
and went to a orange peel based solvent.
The mechanics did not like the change as trich is a excellent solvent
in many ways, but not good for your health.
I doubt if it is readily available now.
