Nothing on the label to indicate its chemical make-up. Should there be?

I don't know, Maurice. With some products, the ingredients are kept confidential e.g. WD-40. On the bottle for this cleaner, the red diamond with the exclamation mark is a warning. The product is flammable, should be used in well-ventilated areas and kept away from children but there's no information as what to do if swallowed. An earlier post said that a 16 oz bottle of FilmGuard, shipped from the US, cost about £43. This film cleaner is about half that quantity and seems expensive in comparison.
