You can pick up both of those products at Home Depot , Sherwin Williams or a paint supply store and make your own for a lot less. I would go with 40% VM&P Naptha and 60% Kerosene or if you want a little faster drying product you can substitute the kerosene for mineral spirts and even a little faster flip flop the percentages.

Probably make it for about $15.00 /gallon.

Re: Prep with Kerosene ???

Interesting read on the old-school uses of Kerosene. I usually start with an ISO/water 50:50 mix but always have PPG prep-sol (Dx440) on hand as well. I might have to pick-up the Wal-mart prep-sol next time I'm in there.
