I am a fairly new marker owner, used to just be the guy that borrows the stuff. but anyway i am also a pretty good neat freak and i was wondering what kind of cleaners (solvents) would be good to clean my marker up after a good day of woodsball. I have a Tippmann A-5 with Flatline Barrel, t-6 stock, tippmann double trigger. Just looking for something to get that oily paint off and keep my O-rings from getting messed up. ------------- Never play leapfrog with a unicorn. |

| Soap and Water, non-abrasive soap like hand soap, not the stuff with the little rocks in it. that and a rag. Honestly you only really neeed the soap if you got it really dirty. After its clean, give it alight coat of oil and you are set. |

| I use a spray bottle with one large squirt (about a tea spoon) of liquid dish soap, this works well at the field as well as at home. |

Warm/hot water with a little dish-soap... and it should come out squeaky clean, and residue-free compared to using other detergent types. |
