Default Motor spray availability

What's up with the availability of motor spray? It seems everyone is out and has been out for months or won't ship it. I saw on Horizon Hobbies that Nitro Force is discontinued. Any thoughts?

Oreillys non chlorinated brake clean works too.

Not on plastics though, or at least with user discretion.
Its just Acetone in a can and plastics dont like it.

I've been using the CRC QD Electronic cleaner since it was $1.59 a can. Its the best stuff out there by far. Now I use an ultrasonic cleaner with denatured alcohol for 30-45 seconds to bust everything loose and then finish off with the QD stuff since its relatively expensive now.

This is what I use, but have noticed it's almost doubled in price over past 2 years.

Its doubled in price since I last bought it. It’s been as low $4.95 previously. I bought the shelf at that time.

I saw Michiels has motor spray. But when you put it in your cart its $2,163.95 for shipping. lol I guess they don't want to ship it.

California is the answer. My guess is it's no longer available in California and won't ship for the same reasons why you can no longer by denatured alcohol, mineral spirits, tung oil, and acetone in California. A lot of things got banned because they supposedly let toxic fumes in the air that harm our environment. Not trying to turn this into a discussion or make it political, just stating some facts. I have resorted to using orderless charcoal lighter fluid as a replacement for mineral spirits. Crazy times we are living through.
