How about you de-assemble the gun and wash it properly

You don't use thinners. You use gunwash.

You get somone to pour gunwash into the gun while you hold the trigger open until it comes out clear. You might want to take the valves out and scrub them through with a brush to get them clean.

Forgot about the pot... The stuff we use is disposable. Though you could just give that a bath of gunwash too to get it all shiney and clean. Give it all a wipe with a tac rag after.
