    I find the Vallejo washes work well. I suspect India ink with some minute amount of dish soap would work well too. 

    I have been getting into more of this brand of washes, and have found them to work pretty good.

    I have mounted a Folgers coffee can to the side of my spray booth.  I keep it full of wadded up paper towels.  When I am changing colors and need to do a quick clean of the airbrush I simply spray cleaner through the brush into the coffee can.  The towels absorb the spray and once they become too saturated I simply throw them away and add new paper towels.  Also use the Great Value (WalMart brand) drink mix containers for sanding sticks, short pieces of styrene, and any other stuff that fits in them.

    I actually have one of the small Folgers containers, that I keep sawdust in. When i have mixed too much paint, or when cleaning my jars, i just dump it in there. After a while I can just dump out the sawdust and put fresh stuff in it. For cleaning the airbrush after acrylics, i bought one of those paint pots to spray  in. I don't use that for solvent based paint. I do save a lot of containers though. I have been keeping some that have had lunch meat in that have a lid, and found those to be handy because they are a slim design and can be stacked on top of each other.
