Quoted from Ika:is it that?
I've heard paint thinner is definitely NOT the same thing.
I'm in the same boat as you are, VM&P naptha is not available here in The Netherlands. Products that are available here and -i believe- are the same as VM&P naptha:
Coleman Fuel
Zippo (or another brand) Lighter fluid
Kelfort Cleaner
But please-please correct me if I'm wrong 
Quoted from ClarkKent:Blitz product is not available in Europe
Its available at Frost in the UK.

you could order some other stuff to make up for the shipping costs
To get back at the discussion about the availability of naptha in Europe from a few pages ago. I've informed at a local store and they recommended me to use "Kelfort Cleaner". The contents are naptha (lightly treated with hydrogen), and hexane.
I'm still a bit wary of putting it on a playfield though.
Quoted from Ika:this is nowhere to be found
I did some more research (because I'm just as reluctant as you are about using chemicals on my playfield 
)
Anyway, I found out that VM&P Naptha is just regular "Wasbenzine" readily available at the DIY store, and even at the supermarket. I'm sure it must be available in Serbia as well! I've checked the safety sheets and the chemical description is the same (Hydrotreated light naphtha).
Perhaps we should start a thread to discuss the availability and naming differences of commonly used products, to avoid confusion, and prevent ruined pinball machines!
Quoted from xsvtoys:Holy crap I can't believe they package it in that clear bottle that looks way too much like a bottle of drinking water!
Yeah, they package thinner, lampoil and white spirit etc in the same bottles. They do have a security cap though.
Quoted from PeterG:I could not find it anywhere in europe. I bought mine while I was in the US. PinballLife has some for a fair price. Remember that stuff lasts almost forever. Only the shipping is real pricey but it's cheaper than flying over there. Maybe combine an order with friends.
I've bought mine from Frost, based the UK.
