## Description

From the Manufacturer 16 oz cleaner - A revolutionary cleaner that’s more than just an airbrush cleaner

Review: A Must-Have for Any Artist Using Paint or Ink Tools – Reliable, Powerful, and Safe - 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.
Review: Great product - Works as it should! Easy to use and keeps your air brush systems nice and clean.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you use this for enamel paints?**
A: No, it's for acrylic paint

**Q: Whenever I use this on my airbrush I get this smoke that comes out... has anyone else had this problem?**
A: Are you sure that’s it’s smoke and not bubble?

**Q: Will this clean lacquer paints too?**
A: On the bottle there's no mention of using it to clean lacquer paint. for what I've read is that most lacquer thinner will do the job well just fill the reservoir a couple times and run it through and that should clean your air brush, lacquer paint dry quickly and hard .they're tough on the tip of your airbrush needle so you may have to take it apart and clean the needle if running through doesn't work

**Q: What types of paint will this work on? Enamels and/or lacquers, or just acrylics?**
A: I was not sure myself so I checked online with Iwata. According to the Iwata web sites, Iwata-Medea Airbrush Cleaner is good only for acrylics and other water based paints, inks and dyes. For enamels and lacquers they recommend lacquer thinner or acetone. This is what airbrush painters have been using for ever and is what works. Regular paint thinner is usually not strong enough if the solvent based paint has had any chance to dry. The Iwata-Medea Airbrush Cleaner does work well though with acrylics.  Lacquer thinner or acetone are hazardous so don't forget breathing and skin protection, also recommend using one of the cleaning jars.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I like it so far
*by A***. on October 13, 2025*

It's the best cleaner i've used so far in my airbrush. When I back bubble the air, it actually gets a little bit foamy and seems to clean better.
