Is this the right Naphtha? Thanks in advance for the help.

For what? It'll work to thin oil paint, or as lighter fluid. What are you planning to use it for?

As a cleaner for nitro finishes, poly finishes, fretboards, ect...I just picked it up when I was buying paint for an apartment I manage.....figured for $6 if it's the right stuff I'll save a trip and grab it....if it's not the Naphtha that everyone uses to clean finishes and fretboards I'll take it back next time I'm at the Depot.

Looks fine to me. I've only used Ronsonol and Zippo branded stuff, but it should be the same.

VM&P= varnish makers and printers. Yes this is the stuff you should be using.
