Anyone ever use this stuff? Would it be safe for guitar finishes? I'm very skeptical...

It's most likely acetone so it would not be safe on finishes.

This is likely nitromethane, used also as fuel for radio-controlled aircraft/vehicles. It is even more agressive than acetone, so keep it away from finishes.

I think that this is made by Bob Smith and then private labeled and yes I've used it for RC aircraft but never guitars. I would avoid finishes with it too since it can melt CA off.
