FAQs
Can I use this to thin my paint?
No, this product is formulated specifically as a cleaning agent and should not be used as a thinner for acrylic paints.
Is it safe for plastic parts?
Yes, when used as directed, it is safe for standard hobby plastics and metals.
Do I need to rinse with water after using this cleaner?
While not strictly required, a final flush with water or a dedicated airbrush lube can help maintain internal components if the tool is being stored for a long period.
Will this damage my airbrush seals?
The formula is designed to be gentle and is safe for most standard airbrush seals, such as PTFE and rubber.
Can it remove old, hardened acrylic paint?
It is highly effective at loosening old paint, though very thick or baked-on layers may require a longer soaking time.
Troubleshooting
Airbrush still feels sticky after cleaning
Ensure the cleaner has had time to soak for at least one minute; repeat the process if the paint has dried for an extended period.
Spray nozzle becomes clogged
Remove the spray head and run it under warm water to clear any dried residue that may have blocked the atomizer opening.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the product, simply unlock the nozzle and apply directly to the surface or pour a small amount into the airbrush paint cup. For deep cleaning, allow the solution to sit on the affected parts for 30-60 seconds before wiping or flushing. It is compatible with all standard airbrush brands. Always store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and ensure the cap is tightened firmly to prevent evaporation of the active cleaning agents.
