Had a couple of crews that did custom installation/renovation work. In that type of product, lots of silicone is used. Naptha did an excellent job of cleaning the polymer surfaces that needed good silicone adhesion, and also worked well to clean up cured silicone after-the-fact. Also had a tenant in my building that was a fabricator of acrylic structures (Florida/Sun rooms, store display fixtures etc) and misc parts who used naptha exclusively to ensure a clean surface, great adhesion and sealing, and good for clean up without harming the acrylic. One caution note re use in confined areas: you can get quite a buzz on.
