Also I always drain the moisture from the compressor after each use.
Yep, same here.

It should go without saying... clean your gun properly when you finish or you'll regret it next time you go to use it. And for the sake of a couple of dollars ALWAYS use those paper strainers when you fill the gun with paint.
Ditto, again
I'm ridiculously anal when it comes to cleaning my gun and airbrush. Probably because I don't use it everyday.
I have developed a little system with small tubs that I do my cleaning in and I do the whole thing with about 250-300 mils of thinner.

I live in suburbia, so I have to be conscientious about disposal.
