On the basis that no one thing does everything I can't answer that, but to hand I always have Citrus gel, dripro, isoprop, stainpro, rust remover, red rx

Same here, Citrus Gel.

Everything else stays on the van i.e. reducer, rust remover etc

Find most things come out with pre-spray and/or rinse.

Solvex, never go to a job without it, will remove almost anything.

Citrus gel is always kept in my hose bag and goes into every house.

Everything else is kept in the ambulance until needed...not very often.

The most used spotter for me is stainpro, citrus gel, solvex strange how most are giving the same answer (we discard what dont work) just wish solvex was cheaper its fantastic stuff. and i use "ridagum" which is also amazing stuff.

Use everyday - Nemesis or M Power spotter and a watered down solvent spotter usually C/spec POG but has been Solvex & Citrus gel, very rarely need anything else.

Mine is Citrus APS from Bane's -  far better than the Gel rinses out far quicker -  excellent on blue tac, make up etc

They were a couple of months ago, I get my foam blocks from them.
I think they may have moved premises and now only trade as Sparkle I believe

We carry a few spotters but I would say the one we turn to most often is Extracta's Multi Purpose Solvent Cleaner, amazing stuff, works instantly and will remove just about anything solvent based.

It's also great for removing sticky labels from windows.

Although most instructions say to use neat. I make up a weaker solution in spotter bottles, especially Citrus gel makes it sprayable. Still keep it neat in the original bottle for when stronger solution is needed.
Can work well especially when the neat spotter is stronger than your prespray and can leave a much cleaner patch.  :-X

I would imagine both mixed together. Sounds like a good effective combo to me.
