Default Waterbased thinner

So today I noticed I was a little on the low side with regard to how much thinner I had left... So I remember I'd seen a bit on here about using glass / window cleaner. I found all the threads and headed off to town. Went around 3 supermarkets without any luck, every single one I saw was coloured pink or green or blue. The only clear ones were the shower clean and not knowing what was in it I didn't risk it.

What brand are people using / where are they buying it from.

I looked at a bigger bottle from everything airbrush but at £25 for one without vat it's just too much money. When I did this using proper Automotive paint the thinner for that wasn't as expensive. Autoair should really sort it out, it's clearly something everyone needs to use and is in my eyes WAY OVER PRICED !!!

Any idea's or info greatly received - ta

I think from what I read when I found the previous results of the searches for windolene that I must have the "older" type Faskolor as it's quite thick and really needs thinning down quite a lot so it atomises nicely. I've got a .35 on the airbrush too...

Grrr water based...
