When it is time to give my airbrush a thorough cleaning, I soak the air caps and needles in lacquer thinner. I then drain the sediment from the paint that came out in the lacquer thinner into a double-thick coffee filter to be disposed of properly. The coffee filter thoroughly cleans the lacquer thinner for the next use, so I can keep on using it.
