I use their thinner product. Here is a link to it from a random website I just googled.

Generally a paint brand works best with their own thinners. For instance, I use Tamiya. Over the years I've used: tap water, distilled water, alcohol, and windshield washer fluid, and various combinations. They all worked to a certain degree, but the best results so far is with Tamiya's Lacquer thinner for their acrylics - perfect for airbrushing, but crappy for hand brushing.
