LA's Totally Awesome

[Cajonpassfan]

No not the City; it is a hot mess.
Some time ago, I read online, perhaps here or maybe elsewhere, about the product in the title. It's supposed to have excellent qualities for certain modeling applications. So I bought a bottle when I saw it in our local 99 Cent store and forgot all about it. Now I notice my wife's been using it around the house occasionally. Trouble is, I'm embarrassed to admit, I have absolutely no recollection of what its supposed modeling use is (other than cleaning the doorknob in the trainroom). 

Any of you know this product? Is it for cleaning shells or castings, 3D prints, stripping paint, cleaning airbrushes, getting fingerprints safely off finished models, using as ultrasonic cleaner fluid, or? Any of you guys seen the same recommendation and have better memory than I?
Thanks in advance,
Otto K.

The conversation I remember is one about getting smoke odors off rolling stock and other items.

It is also supposed to be a good plastic-safe paint stripper. I also have a bottle but haven't tried it yet.

Thanks, Tom, that's the stuff, but I saw the recommendations for it elsewhere I think.
Pete, I am tempted to try it as a paint remover on some old stuff, but it would be good to know....

Otto,
Just for shits and grins I clicked on the "search" button on the top of the TRW forum main page and typed in "totally awesome". Scrolling through the first page of results yielded the following posts:

This stuff has been mentioned multiple times on a model car forum I frequent as a plastic-safe stripper .

I've used it with success when 91% Iso doesn't cut it, like some Bowser products. I've had some better succes with LA Awesome than Pinesol. Still can't find the silver bullet for Bowser paint though.

Thanks @pjm20 👍

Thanks Pete, I too did a search before posting.
Not all that useful, other than being reminded of the importance of proper usage of commas.
What's that inthe road, a head?

I see what you did there.   

Commas? What commas?  I didn't see any commas.  Just searched for totally awesome without any punctuation.

But that reminds me of:
