I really wish ALL instructional videos, especially those about airbrushes, were this informative and simple to understand. Well done Sergio, you've actually helped me rescue a chinese clone that I thought was beyond help. A deep clean following your recommendations and its as good as its ever been.
I'm new to airbrushing and this has made my worries about cleaning disappear. I really appreciate your efforts! You made this simple and easy to follow. Thank you!
Excellent Sergio. Today I recieved my newIvata-Medea hp-cs in the mail. It would spray paint immediately without pushing the button. Turns out it was plugged up inside everywhere. I manage to clean it up to work. Had this video been seen first would have saved me a bunch of time. Now tomorrow I will take it all apart and clean the internal spaces. AGAIN THANK YOU A BUNCH
Excellent, explanatory video ! Just a small tip from an airbrush noob like myself, at 8:03 of the video, when i put the nozzle & needles cap bac to place, i pull the trigger back at the same time so the needle goes back and does not hit with the caps by accident :D
This is without a doubt the best and most comprehensive video I have watched on the subject. I’m just getting back in the hobby and bought this airbrush and this video answered every question that I had.Thank you!
This is the most thorough and concise video I have found on using and maintaining, and especially cleaning, an airbrush. I just purchased this exact model after using a Paasche siphon feed for some time and was looking for the best way to clean a gravity feed model. Video is right to the point without a lot of distracting chit chat. Background music was actually relaxing and complemented the video well instead of the death metal junk that some creators like to put behind their videos 🫤. Can’t wait to try out my new airbrush (waiting on an adapter to make it work with my Paasche compressor 🙄)
Great video,Sergio. The tip on using thread to clean the nozzle is especially useful - though pretty hard to get the thread through using a needle. I used the inter-dental brush to force it through. You said you couldn't think of the verb to describe the motion of pulling the thread backwards and forwards - try 'flossing'. It's the term we use for cleaning teeth this way!
I bought this in January but due to time and anxiety about getting starting with it and learning about it I’ve been avoiding it. This video is great. Thank you so much!!
I have had this airbrush for 6 months and have had to figure out how to clean it with no instructions, learnt a lot today, plus the fact I am missing a rubber washer. Cheers
I agree as others have said, best cleaning tutorial video. You explain very well, and you SHOW us how it's done, and seeing the results. Too many videos just say "do this" but don't actually show you or even worse say "do it this way" but they don't do it that way. Thank you so much for this, I am going to start air brushing again after quitting. Going to see if you have more videos, hopefully I will learn properly and keep air brushing.
I started painting at the age of 11 with the WW2 tank models. With obviously questionable results. I did not know painting techniques for lighting effects and use diluted colors. One day I find myself in the youtube home a video of Sergio Solo as recommended. It made me resume the desire after 7 years! (I'm 18 now). I watched a lot of technical videos etc. Having started from now with very specific ideas and everything I have armed with a good iwata NEO (obviously not as professional as that of Sergio but always an at least branded airbrush) And I'm starting to see excellent results thanks to Sergio videos! Thank you so much I think I will not stop anymore! Finally my favorite hobby I can continue with great satisfaction! PS: (when I go to work at my desk I looped your videos that have really good soundtracks ahhah!) Thanks Sergio Solo! :)
I was having trouble with mine so I took it all apart to see what was going on. And when I went to put it back together I was having issues with the trigger. Needless to say this video was a HUGE help! Thank you for explaining it and showing step by step a lot of people don’t do that... so thank you
Thank you so much for the vid Sergio!!! The "flossing" technique for the nozzle tip will be used often. In fact the whole video will be archived for future reference. Bravo!!!
I do custom Marvel Legends figures and am planning on upgrading to an Iwata soon. This is going to help me so much! Thank you!! You earned my subscription! :)
Great video! Exactly what I needed, concerning the cleaning process of this specific brand/model of airbrush, shown in details and yet straightforward!
Muchas gracias ,por tu trabajo ,me gustan bastante tus videos ,Enhorabuena por todos. Te puedo decir que este es el mejor tuturial de mantenimiento de aerografos que he visto en internet. Un saludo
Gran vídeo, como siempre. Muy ilustrativo, muy bien realizado y mejor editado. De lo mejorcito que he visto en lengua castellana. Un saludo y ánimo para seguir haciendo las cosas tan bien.
Genial video, gracias a ello me he dado cuenta que he estado sacando mal la aguja del aerógrafo, ahora siento la necesidad de volver a limpiarlo profundamente de la manera correcta
Love it. I personally love to do medium clean though, never do the deep clean. Simply because the paint don't reach the back parts. But after I watch this video, I think I need to deep clean my airbrush. And, I guess I have to buy the lubricant too. Thanks!
Fantastic!! Thank you. So far the most informative video I've seen (ie; the bubble mix/clean step has been skipped on other videos, etc.) Saves video. 🤘😎👍
I can't live without Q-Tips. They really work for getting to the bottom of the cup where the needle passes through. Dip them in 91% alcohol at times. A paint brush works too, but Q-Tips are so cheap you just throw them away when they are soiled.
Hola,que tal... me ha servido de gran ayuda tu video explicativo...una pregunta por favor: sabes si se le puede cambiar el deposito por uno de 14ML... tengo la sensación que el modelo no es desmontable el deposito.Saludos y gracias por tu tiempo.
Great video as always Sergio !!! I personally recommend to use an ultrasonic cleaner. It`s not too expensive, very easy to use , fast and 100% effective, even with dry paint. Greetings !
Thank you! I've heard mixed comments about the ultrasonic cleaners, but I like the idea to speed up the cleaning process. I'll keep it in mind if I ever find a good (I mean, a one-in-a-life-time) deal
In my country (Poland) I buy a special fluid called Sonix 1000x. It`s a blue fluid and I add only about 2 ml for full process. One bottle - 1 liter costs about 3-4 $. It`s enough for many, many months.
The most challenging part of the procedure --- and most frustrating -- is cleaning the needle orifice with a flaccid length of thread. My solution : apply a small amount of hot ( crazy ) glue to the end of the thin thread, about 1 ". After it dries it will easily pass through the orifice ; then add the alcohol to complete the cleaning.
One of the best, if not best videos I have seen for airbrush maintenance. Video is clear, no unnecessary chit chat, right to the point. Kudos Sergio!
The idea of the thread to clean the nozzle is game changing. Very good video.
I really wish ALL instructional videos, especially those about airbrushes, were this informative and simple to understand. Well done Sergio, you've actually helped me rescue a chinese clone that I thought was beyond help. A deep clean following your recommendations and its as good as its ever been.
Glad to help, Bernie

First timer with airbrush, this video really have put on ease to clean mine properly
Excellent video. Just got my Iwata Eclipse and needed a proper guide to clean it. Thanks a bunch.
Super helpful and now I feel confident in taking the needle out and being able reassembling the airbrush 😀thank you
Wow! This video was perfect, it shows everything we need to know!! Thank you very much for your time putting it together!! 👍
So pleasingly clear and easy to follow. Thank you for taking the time to make this video :)
I certainly agree with Seth that this is absolutely the best airbrush cleaning video out there. Thanks Sergio!!
Glad to help, Marty!
I JUST bought this brush, I was curious about maintaining it. I need to get that cleaning stuff. But this is the best out there.

Nice to hear you're back! We're living in a golden age of scale modeling. So much to see and learn :)
I have this airbrush and until now I haven't used it...thank you for this video it really helped. Peace.
Terrific video. I just got my first airbrush and this was a huge help in getting me started. Thanks for making it.
I watched three other ones before this hands down the best thanks.
Just getting ready to use it for the first time airbrushing ever. Thank you so much for the information. 👍👍🇨🇦
Great Video, I am a beginner so thank you helping me to understand how it all works!
The needle and thread is brilliant! Thanks for sharing.
Yeah easy way to clean without damaging the airbrush! Great Video
Great video. I just replaced my iwata neo with the eclipse, very helpful. Thank you!
One of the best videos out there.
Thank you for this. I have this airbrush from years back and just started using it again. This answers all my questions about cleaning it.👍
Glad to help

I'm brand new to airbrushing Warhammer 40K Minis. My airbrush came with no instructions. Thanks for this!!!
Ain't that the truth! And the downloadable manual ain't so hot either.
Best cleaning video I’ve ever seen… also.. what you did with the needle and thread is called FLOSSING! 😂🙏🏽♥️
I really needed this! Thank you so much Sergio! Your way of instructing is excellent
Glad to help! :)
One of the best video's I have seen in reference to cleaning the IWATA Eclipse HP-CS Airbruh. However I absolutely Hate the Back Ground Music.
Excellent video! No BS and very informative. Thank you for putting this out there. Time to start my air brush adventure.
i love how you wrote H20 and alcohol on the containers so that it applies for both languages
If you don’t know what water is you might have a problem
Como se nota el trabajo que hicistes con este vídeo. Muy explicativo. Felicidades!👏
Gran vídeo, como siempre. Muy ilustrativo, muy bien realizado y mejor editado. De lo mejorcito que he visto en lengua castellana. Un saludo y ánimo para seguir haciendo las cosas tan bien.
Muchas gracias, Eduardo. ¿Me podrías recomendar algún canal de modelismo en español?
Genial video, gracias a ello me he dado cuenta que he estado sacando mal la aguja del aerógrafo, ahora siento la necesidad de volver a limpiarlo profundamente de la manera correcta
Me alegra que mi video haya sido de ayuda :)
Excelente video. Siempre queria usar uno y no tenia idea como se empleaba y menos su limpieza. FELICITACIONES
Muchas gracias, Gerardo. Qué bueno que te haya servido
Muy bien, nice, concise instructions on cleaning. Well done. Gracias….pardon the high school Spanish
Love it. I personally love to do medium clean though, never do the deep clean. Simply because the paint don't reach the back parts. But after I watch this video, I think I need to deep clean my airbrush. And, I guess I have to buy the lubricant too. Thanks!

Cool! You won't regret it
Thank you for this video, it is the perfect guide!
I can't live without Q-Tips. They really work for getting to the bottom of the cup where the needle passes through. Dip them in 91% alcohol at times. A paint brush works too, but Q-Tips are so cheap you just throw them away when they are soiled.
I don't use Q-tips because they often loose some fibers in the process, but I'm glad they work for you 👍
Muchas gracias por el video,explicas muy claro todos los pasos,saludos.
Really helpful video - muchas gracias!

Muy buen tutorial, explica claramente

What liquid u use for ultrasonic cleaner? I use pure water and its not working well...
Daniel Pilat I use pure water mixed with alchol and soap and it works pretty well with my acrylics
In my country (Poland) I buy a special fluid called Sonix 1000x. It`s a blue fluid and I add only about 2 ml for full process. One bottle - 1 liter costs about 3-4 $. It`s enough for many, many months.
