I have one and I use it from time to time. I find that it will work when I want to clean the AB to change colors. As far as cleaning teh ab I prefer to take the brush apart and clean the parts separately.

Frank,
I use the Aztek, and I absolutely love it. I use the cleaner to thin the paint. It works like a charm. Other than that, I agree with Dave, I like soap and water for cleaning.
Ciao for now

I have an Aztek and use the cleaner. I'll spray cleaner through the brush a few seconds when changing colors and soak my nozzles in it to clean them. Except for the strong odor which gives me a headache half the time I like it.

I've had mine about 4 yrs now and I use washer fluid
(the kind you put in your car,mine is blue in color and hasn't hurt my brush yet),for .99 cents its the only way to go for acylics.I even use it for thinning my acrylic (Model Master)paints and have had no trouble yet.The color of the fluid doesn't seem to matter even with whites.For enamels I use MM enamel thinner in the can,I've been trying to switch over to acrylics completely
I just like the way they go on, and clean up is a plus!
I've only used the washer fluid with Model Master don't know if it works with any other brand or not,so be careful.
