A quick Google search reveals these results. Looks like just what it says it is. Probably originally intended for removing gunpowder residue from a gun, it has apparently migrated to other solvent uses as well. I found the MSDS interesting as well.

Looks pretty nasty to me. The flash point concentration of vapors for this product in air is 1.9%. By comparison, gasoline (or petrol, as you brits refer to it Gun wash solvent what is it - Last Post -- posted image.

) is 14%, and we all know how flammable gasoline is!

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Gun wash is used in paint shops to wash off spray guns. It smells really bad and can give you one hella headache if ventilation is not provided.
