Tips from the Pro’s
Never use ammonia or any other solvent to do the pre-rinse
The better the pre-rinse process to clear the fluid passageway of raw paint, the
longer the cleaning solution will last between flocculation’s
Keeping the air passageway dry is key to preventing corrosion in the air
passageway - - always attach the air quick-disconnect during the process
Use the flow brush and power pistol aggressively, especially with whites, reds,
and certain blacks, which are harder to remove.
Never “chase” a clean, dry gun with anything
Follow the gun manufacturers instructions - do a periodic detail cleaning
