Methyl (something or other)
It's called Methelene Chloride.....The same thing that is in many of the good old fashioned paint strippers....pretty nasty stuff. They have added all kinds of regulations in the last 10 years on the stuff, so even many of the paint strippers have removed it. It is also used straight up as a plastisol remover for shooting out errors in t-shirts. Again they have several new "safe" solvents, but they never work quite as well as the original do they ;)
Hope this helps,

Many years ago, because of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) laws in California, the formulas of automobile paint were changed.
Paint jobs were never the same, with respect to longevity and lustre of finish.
In fact, at the time, I was told, "If you want a good paint job, go to Arizona" where the rigid CA standards didn't apply.
Don't know if that's still the case. I doubt it.
