I went over the parts with a q-tip and most of the greyish stuff disappeared. I then coated the parts in one mist and one wet coat of clear and it seems to have worked!!
The decals used are from an old Museum Collection sheet and I was afraid to lose it if sanding. I definately would have if I have had to take out the old brake fluid.

Before putting on the new layers of clear the nozzle and whole front end of the air brush went into thinner and I got rid of the old card board box that has been my spray booth. I'll see if the problems disappear, can't be much other factors can it?

Glad to know you've saved the parts. The only thing that I have in mind is to purge the compressor with the filter, I have mine's installed at the exit of the air compressor, don't know if it has anything to do but... I can take a pictures tomorrow if you don't know what I mean.

Be sure to clean completely the airbrush, as you said the parts of the front are important and also the nozzle.
