I bought a kit at Air Brush Depot that has every brush, probe and tool made for cleaning a air brush all in a squeeze bottle for cleaning for $30. Awesome  |

Well before when I had a older cheaper gun Id use fingernail polish remover. It worked pretty good but now that I dropped some money on a nice one, I wanna make sure I use the right stuff to not hurt any internal seals. I see all sorts of companies make stuff to clean acyrlics, but Spaz isnt a acrylic is it? I didnt think so.. Ive heard of people using mineral spirits as well, but again I wanna make sure I use the right stuff, because I dont feel like buying a new one for a while..lol |

All the guys I know who are good with airbrushes keep telling me to clean with hot water, and follow with alcohol for water based paints. I have seen more than a few posts recommended windshield washer cleaner. Not sure on petroleum based paints - haven't got into that.

Spaz-tix is a lacquer based paint if I remember correctly.For that you would want a lacquer thinner. Pat |

Spazstix is so thin that I use the same thing to clean it I use with water-based paints - Windex.
