I haven't been able to find it in Australia in Bunnings. The Bunnings website suggests that maybe I meant to search for 'Samantha'. :roll eyes:

So anyway, is naphtha called something else here? Or is there something else I could use to wipe things down to remove any fingerprints, grease, etc, before spraying colour?
I highly recommend using Gum Terpentine. A naturally derived product from trees.
The other products mentioned are all full of nasties....
