Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner – 200ml Airbrush Cleaning Solution
Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner 71.199 is a cleaning solution designed to remove paint from airbrushes while lubricating their internal mechanisms. Supplied in a 200ml bottle, it combines paint removal and lubrication in one product, helping with the cleaning and maintenance of airbrush equipment used for scale modelling and miniature painting.
The cleaner removes paint without damaging the airbrush mechanism. Its lubricating action is particularly useful when cleaning the internal components, allowing paint removal and mechanism maintenance to be carried out together.
Removing Paint from Airbrush Components
Paint can collect within an airbrush during use, particularly around components such as the nozzle and valve. Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner is designed to remove paint from these areas while also lubricating the mechanism.
Regular cleaning is an important part of looking after airbrushing equipment. Removing accumulated paint helps keep the components clean, while the cleaner’s lubricating properties provide an additional maintenance function.
The product is suitable for airbrush cleaning as part of a modelling or miniature painting session, including when cleaning equipment after applying model paints.
Thorough Cleaning of the Valve and Nozzle
For more thorough cleaning, Vallejo recommends soaking the airbrush valve and nozzle in Airbrush Cleaner for several hours. This allows the cleaning solution to work on paint deposits within these individual components.
Important: Only the valve and nozzle should be soaked for extended cleaning. Do not immerse the entire airbrush in the cleaner.
This distinction is important when carrying out a more detailed cleaning procedure. The soaking method is intended for the specified removable components rather than the complete assembled airbrush.
Cleaning and Lubricating the Airbrush Mechanism
Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner performs two functions during maintenance. It removes paint from the airbrush and lubricates the mechanism without causing damage.
The lubricating action means the product does more than simply remove paint residue. It also provides lubrication to the mechanism as part of the cleaning process, making it useful for maintaining airbrush equipment between painting sessions.
For modellers who regularly use an airbrush, keeping a dedicated cleaning solution alongside their painting equipment provides a convenient way to carry out routine cleaning and more thorough maintenance when required.
