2 types I've found, perchloroethylene and acetone based.
Gunk brand seems to be perc, and works very well for me.
The "greener" acetone stuff is useful for melting plastics and
doing damage to paint and things, without actually cleaning
anything very well. Maybe has alcohol in it, too.
BOth will dissolve PVC, lacquer and many other things.
Perc is nasty on the liver/kidneys. This is "dry cleaning
fluid". NOt nearly as flammable as the acetone based stuff.
