Medea Airbrush Cleaner

My go to has been isopropyl alcohol for cleaning my airbrushes until recently. IPA does clean out the airbrush nicely after using water based paints at the end of a session based on a test I conducted. I discovered this cleaner did find some residue remaining after 99% IPA use from petroleum based enamel paints. I haven't tried it on dried paint as I clean my airbrushes after each session thoroughly as a preventative measure. I normally have a week or more in between sessions. I still use distilled water and IPA for color changes during a session depending on paint type, but I will be using this cleaner from now on for end of day clean up along with my ultrasonic cleaner afterwards. The 32 ounce size of this brand is economical when compared to other sizes and manufacturers by price per volume. I do recommend placing a piece of plastic wrap over the neck under the cap to prevent evaporation over time once seal is cracked. I do use this product specifically for cleaning the airbrushes. I use a separate thinner for reducing paints along with flow improver for what I believe to be the best results on my finished works.

Mi hobby es pintar figuras anime con aerógrafo, con lo cuál siempre estoy usando limpiadores para dejar el aerógrafo lo más limpio posible. Siempre he usado el cleaner de vallejo y me ha dado buenos resultados, pero su precio era muy caro, entonces vi este y me atreví a comprarlo, ¿cuál fue mi sorpresa? pues que limpia todavía mejor y desincrusta cualquier rastro de pintura en el aerógrafo y encima es bastante más barato.

Tengo un aerografo iwata de gama media y use este liquido y quedo impecable, voy a volver a comprarlo cuando termine la botella.

The Medea Airbrush Cleaner is now a staple in my art supply cabinet. Whether you're a beginner or professional, if you work with airbrushes, paint brushes, or even inking tools, this solution is a game-changer. Pros: Deep Cleaning Power: It truly flushes out every bit of paint residue—even dried-up acrylic and stubborn pigments. I’ve saved more than one clogged airbrush needle with this stuff. Versatile Use: I love that it works across mediums—acrylics, inks, dyes, gouache, even oil-based paint tools. I've even used it to restore a brush I thought was ruined. Ready to Use: No mixing or diluting required. Just pour and clean. Makes cleanup faster and easier, especially after long painting sessions. Gentle on Tools: Despite its cleaning power, it doesn’t damage my brushes or wear out my airbrush parts. It’s effective without being harsh. Great Value: The 32 oz bottle lasts a long time, even with regular use. It’s an investment that pays for itself by extending the life of your gear. Cons: Slight Chemical Smell: There is a light odor, but it's not overpowering. I recommend using in a ventilated space just to be safe. Not Ideal for On-the-Go: Because it's a larger bottle and not travel-sized, I poured some into a smaller squeeze bottle for convenience. Bottom Line: Whether you’re using this with airbrushes, traditional brushes, or any fine art tools, Medea Airbrush Cleaner is worth every penny. It performs better than most “universal” cleaners and helps protect your investment in tools and equipment. Highly recommended for artists, modelers, and creatives of all types.

Works great. I use this in all my airbrushes. I run it straight thru occasionally during use to keep from clogging and I also use it in a pickle jar in my Ultrasonic cleaner to do a thorough cleaning at the end of the session. Never had any problems.
