Can i use Mineral Spirts as my wax/grease remover?
Also can it be used to clean out my spray gun? I"m assuming i'd rinse out my canister with it and then put some in there screw it on and run it threw right? Also how long does Mineral Spirts take to evaporate?

Andrew,

I see no real reason why you can't. I think a lot of people do, although higher grade, specialty products are generally recommended for the automotive paints instead. See this. The can label on the paint you are using should recommend a clean-up solvent that you can use to clean your gun with. It might be mineral spirits, it might be something else. I recommend that at the end of a day's work you also take the gun completely apart and clean individual pieces. That's your best assurance that there will be no remnants of dried paint left in internal areas the next time you use it. Mineral spirits is a fairly slow drying solvent.
