Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner 200ml. is a dedicated airbrush cleaning solution designed to remove acrylic paint residue safely without damaging internal airbrush components. Besides cleaning thoroughly, it also lightly lubricates the mechanism to help keep the trigger action and moving parts working smoothly.
How do you use Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner? The cleaner can be used straight from the bottle without dilution. Simply flush it through the airbrush between colour changes or after a painting session until no paint residue remains. For deeper maintenance, combine it with cleaning brushes or a complete airbrush cleaning kit to clean the nozzle and needle carefully.
Keeping an airbrush clean is one of the most important parts of miniature painting and model building. Dried acrylic paint quickly causes clogs, uneven spray patterns and sputtering. Regular cleaning with Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner helps maintain consistent airflow and reliable paint performance while reducing wear on delicate parts like the needle and nozzle.
This cleaner is especially popular among hobbyists working with Vallejo Model Air, Game Air and other acrylic airbrush paints. It is also suitable for removing many other acrylic paint brands commonly used for miniatures, dioramas and scale models. The formula is mild enough for regular use, making it practical for both short painting sessions and long hobby projects.
For beginners, this cleaner offers an easy way to build good airbrush maintenance habits from the start. Many airbrush problems come from leftover paint drying inside the airbrush after use. A quick flush between colours already prevents most blockages and cleaning issues. More advanced users appreciate the fact that the cleaner not only removes residue, but also helps protect the internal mechanism during repeated cleaning cycles.
The bottle contains 200ml. of cleaner, providing enough product for regular maintenance over many hobby sessions. This larger size is especially useful for painters who frequently spray primers, basecoats, varnishes or camouflage patterns on armies, vehicles and terrain pieces.
What is the difference between airbrush cleaner and thinner? Thinner is mainly intended for reducing paint viscosity before spraying, while airbrush cleaner is specifically formulated to remove paint residue from the airbrush safely. A proper cleaner also helps prevent clogging and extends the lifespan of your airbrush.
Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner is suitable for many different hobby workflows:
For the best results, many painters combine this cleaner with cleaning brushes, cleaning pots and specialised maintenance tools. Regular deep cleaning is especially important for fine-detail airbrushes where even small paint particles can affect spray consistency and line quality.
This product is suitable for miniature wargamers, scale model builders, gunpla hobbyists, diorama creators and anyone regularly using acrylic paints in an airbrush. Whether you paint military vehicles, fantasy miniatures, scenery pieces or large terrain projects, a properly maintained airbrush improves reliability, paint flow and overall painting efficiency.
