Depends on the paints you're using.

For Acrylics us everyday household Windex (with amonia).  The amonia breaks down acrylics very well and I use it exclusively (I paint exclusively with Tamiya Acrylic paints).

You should pick up some pipe cleaners, either at a tobaconist (better because they're  smaller and more absorbant) or at a craft store. Dip the end in the appropriate thinner and run it throughthe needle channel and into the nozzle.

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

Enamel or acrylic, clean with lacquer thinner after last spraying of the day. It'll strip anything. Don't use it as a between spray cleaner if using acrylics as it will gum up the paint.
