Yes, the benzyl alcohol product has been available from Wickes for a few years. I think they sell it as their own brand paint and varnish remover. I've been really pleased with it and have mentioned it on the Forum a few times previously.

It often takes a little time to work, and isn't suitable for all materials, but it is pretty much at the top of my "go to list" for removing paint, varnish and other 'soils' from surfaces.
