Yes it's basically "Dichloromethane" (Methylene Chloride) you can buy it from MDP for sure . They probably just call it vinyl remover.

The spray's pretty good it removes the vinyl well but it does leave a redsidue in the shape of what was printed so you will need to print over the top with more vinyl
