Supposedly Future Floor Polish is the right consistency for spraying. But once done, what is the best solution for cleaning your airbrush? Thanks

You can use water , windshield washer fuild or even windex for clean up . Windex glass cleaner works the best .

I use isopropanol for thinning the future for airbrushing (40%) and water to clean the airbrush afterwards

Hi Trevor

Any cleaner with ammonia in it (apparently classic Windex has it) will dissolve Future/Klear.

All the best

As a "by the way" I never spray Future/Klear but rather brush it on unthinned. It gives the result I need and saves me having to clean an airbrush. I use a broad flat brush and simply rinse it in warm soapy water as soon as I'm done.
