Choice of airbrush cleaner

[PaulinKendal]

I also remove the needle as I have found on a few occasions the needle has stuck due to an errant drop of paint not getting flushed out of the airbrush.

Yep, getting the needle glued into the nozzle is a right pain. I don't remove the needle entirely, I just back it off a few mm. That way it's much easier to free it without the possibility of damaging the nozzle in the process.
Can't help with your choice of cleaner - I spray Vallejo products, so I use Vallejo thinners and cleaner, without any issues.

And that is why I have been converting back to lacquers and enamels, I have lost all confidence in using acrylics as a spray medium.

I am with you on this Mike. I find acrylics dry out too quickly and can soon clog the nozel.

I use the thinners of whatever paint brand and type the manufacturer suggest, then you know it'll work without problems, some say it's expensive but it's not 'that' expensive and I only need one container of product not two.

"take two bottles into the shower. . . spray area? not me, I just spray, and go!'' Ha!

This may be overkill but once I have finished spraying, and cleaned up the airbrush I spray a cup of IPA through it. . .

That's a good idea! Provided you mean Isopropyl Alcohol and not 'India Pale Ale!' Ha!

Miko (I've only ever used Humbrol MrHobby and Tamiya and their respective thinners so I can't comment on Vallejo that does seem to polarize opinion.)

I wonder what my online persona suggests my age maybe?

I can remember the moon landing and have a vague recollection of an atmosphere in the air but didn't understand why of the '66 world cup final!

Miko (youthful by wrote, apparently? if I was as old as the woman I feel I'd be four years younger than I am! Ha!)
