Carb cleaner is the gift when it comes to cleaning sprayguns. Nothing else works as fast/well. It takes the pain out of cleaning guns.

Boss has been asking non-stop about me cleaning these guns out so we don't have to keep buying new ones every bedliner. Carb cleaner and a brush those are the parts I couldn't get. Thanks dude maybe I can make the bosses happier now

Pete, this is the most informative video I've seen about cleaning my guns. I aspire to be a professional automotive paint tech, and this helped me better than my father's instruction (who has nearly the years of experience that you do). Thank you so much Pete

Thanks Pete as this information is timeless! You are a book of knowledge and experience. People don’t know that these guns used leather and later cork. These are robust. Enjoyed watching and learning because I don’t do this everyday. Thanks again!

My friend Pete, thank you for your shared knowledge and experience.
Your videos have taught me a lot and I continue to learn.
Thank you!

Thanks! I’m new to this auto body and painting thing. You’ve literally cut my gun cleaning time down to like 5 min a opposed to 15 with the lacquer thinner and mason jar technique

Hey man! Love your videos. I return to them frequently for the working man aspect of getting things done “right”. Hope your still doing well!

Thank you for taking your time to educate the others in this industry

Just found your channel and am enjoying watching your videos. If you want to know what chemicals are in a product, check the SDS (safety data sheet). Some variation between brands, but carburetor cleaner is mostly methanol with some acetone and toluene. Non-chlorinated brake cleaner is mostly acetone with a little bit of toluene.

Been making my way through your videos. I can't think you enough man. You're a great guy to be sharing your tips and tricks so willingly. I've learned a lot from you.

Carb cleaner I'll be trying that, all I've ever used is lacquer thinner, great tip thanks Pete.

just came in from painting white paint on one of my cars rim, would have been nice if you posted this yesterday haha, i just clean my gun with brake clean and acetone, if its really bad ill soak them in gasoline inside an old water bottle, but I'll definitely use carb cleaner next time. but i really cleaned my gun and even though im using cheap rustoleum paint i still strained it and my rim came out great.

Good tip with the brake cleaner. My fathers a professional paint and body man as for I took another route in life in my profession. I'll let him know you said "what's up" due to his deportation to mexico. 🇲🇽

I was painting the fenders for my truck before I put them on and noticed that after a couple minutes of spraying, the spray pattern dwindled to nothing but I had good pressure. Just wasn't getting any paint. I had cleaned my gun thoroughly BUT on my vent, there was a rubber hose. evidently paint had gotten into it and dried clogging up the vent. After painting for so long, it created a vacuum in the canister not allowing paint to go through. From THAT point on, I made sure to be sure the vent AND hose were clean and
