Thank you Mario!! I glad to give the a try and happy with the results as well!

Any idea where to purchase these in the US? I can't seem to find them anywhere!

Here's one place, scroll down towards the bottom as the top ones are the original formula:

Hi Jake,

I can't seem to find a location the sells the product directly, however, on Vallejo's webpage there is a list of distributors within the US. These supply local hobby shops. I would have to say that if a local hobby shop carries any of the Vallejo line, then one of these distributors can obtain it. Ask you LHS and see if they can be ordered, they may have a catalog to pick from. I checked one of the distributors' website and they list these washes as an in stock item, which means that they can be ordered possibly from a LHS.

Check this site http://www2.stevenshobby.com:5641/ Typ in the required information and this should give you a list of the LHS you can get them from!!

Would thinning regular Vallejos work the same? Or do these washes have something added to make them flow better? Just curious.

Hi Kimmo,

I can only assume the Vallejo may have some sort of binder added to the wash to aid in the flow. I do not know as to the chemical make up of these but can tell you from using them that they are not quite like thinned down Vallejo paints. I would say real close but they grab a little more. If you let them dry a few minutes you can manipulate them stile. If they dry to long, I did have a little trouble removing or moving around...not at all like some enamel based products whereas you can clean them the next day or so very easily.

Good to know. Thanks
