I usually spray the cleaner at about 30 psi but I would imagine others use different pressures. Works fine for me though.

Usually I put it at about 25PSI for cleaning. My compressor doesn't go a lot beyond that, so I don't have the option of using 50 or 60 PSI.

30psi or thereabout and spray onto an open nappy to trap the cleanser. Will try a higher pressure having read this thread but would be concerned by "blow back" into the air as I don't own a booth (do use a respirator). I don't want the painted model to be affected by these solvent droplets either.

I set it to 40-50psi and also "backflush" at that psi as well.
