Default Naptha?

'Varnish Makers and Painter's' naptha is the only way
I've found for removing baked-on grease from metal surfaces:

It's disappeared from the shelves at all the hardware stores in
my area. Some now carry a 'substitute' product in gallon cans,
but I don't want to spend over 20 bucks and then have to drive
it to Hazmat Disposal if it works as well as do most
'substitutes'.

What's a practical alternative? Gasoline?

Thanks!

Lighter fluid is (or at least used to be) mainly naptha.

Yeah, that stuff is gone from store shelves as well.

Gasoline has longer chain molecules than naptha, but you
could try it.




Coleman fuel AKA white gas
