I'm sure no one would actually use a mister on their camera, but another issue is the inclusion of wetting agents (designed to decrease surface tension and help adhere the product to the finish), polymerisation additives (to bond them to the surface), and petroleum distillates in many products. Aside from the damage these may do by direct contact, there is the issue of the fumes they give off and what, if any, they might do to glass (including the rfdr), rubber (shutter), and electronic circuitry (such as the meter). I am not a scientist, and so before I would use a product on my Leica which was not designed purposefully for that use, I would certainly have a word with a trusted repair individual.
