I bought two F&C kits at Naperville. Just painted one and am ready to prep the other.
I cleaned the first one with dawn detergent on a tooth brush. Still had some “fish eyeing” on the roof.

Re: Airbrush Clinic & Demo at Naperville
You'd be surprised. I got my first airbrush in 1972 when I was 14 years old. I had been building models since age 7 and using spray paint since about the age of 10. I loaded my cheapie Badger 250

I've been using Paasche for 40 years - the last 16 or so almost 100% VL and H before that. The only thing I'd consider changing to would be Iwata. I haven't been to their clinics but I did talk to
