It’s safe for aluminum, stainless and all the usual suspects. It appears to be a mix of alcohols, hydrocarbons, ammonia and dichloromethane.

<http://www.bargreen.com/media/pdf/DPC10132_TechData.pdf> appears to be a datasheet, and <http://www.bargreen.com/media/pdf/DPC10119_SDS.pdf> is an MSDS.

I'm a little surprised that it's claimed to be okay for copper, because ammonia tends to attack copper, but reportedly this stuff is okay for it. Maybe the ammonia content is small.

Use cautiously. Very flammable, especially the spray version (surprise surprise), and some of the combustion products are toxic. The stuff itself is rather toxic, and dichloromethane (which is a large percentage of it) is also suspected to be carcinogenic -- wear goggles and gloves for sure, and use it either outside or with forced ventilation suitable for hazardous fumes.
