Like many others I have used Windex glass cleaner to strip most acrylic paints except Vallejo (I now try to stick with Tamiya). However it is expensive (£12-£15) and not readily found in shops, so in search of an alternative I have found "Stardrops Power Cleaner with Ammonia". It is £1.20 from such as "onlinepoundstore". It works much the same as Windex, seemingly due to the ammonia content, albeit more slowly. It can be diluted and works equally well (not sure yet about gloss though) so is even cheaper. It comes with safety warnings re eyes skin etc. so care should be taken. Hope this helps.

Ok i have a problem ? I used Tamiya XF-3 Yellow and I thinned it with Tamiya X-20A thinner. Same thing i always use with Tamiya ? Problem occurred when i went to clean the airbrush. I have an Iwata HP-BCS just in case it helps to give me an answer. I started to do my normal cleaning process which includes running some window cleaner through, followed by water, finished by breaking the A/B down and cleaning it. I have done this everytime i paint regardless of brand. Ive never had what just happened happen before? I was able to get air to go through but the windex caused the Tamiya to turn into cement, Literally im not kidding ? I had to physically scrape the paint out of my air brush just now ? Has that ever happened to anyone with Tamiya and window cleaner before ? Dennis
