Once i finish spraying the paint I just fill a couple of times the bottle once with plain water ant the second with the addition of a few drops of liquid dish soap. Then I permanently leave the nozzle soaked in rubbing alchool...

I usually wash with Thinner then soak overnight also with Thinner.
Well, it works with enamel paint.

I'm kind of partial to either "Windex" or the blue automotive windshield washer fluid.
If the paint is really caked on, try lacquer thinner. But be sure to use in a very well ventilated area.
