hi.

i was wondering if you good folks could help me with this. i own an iwata eclipse which i airbrush automotive lacquer through. i've only used it twice thus far and have thoroughly cleaned out the unit after each use. i've done such a good job that the lubricant on the needle is now gone and is beginning to stick while use. what type of lubricant does this use? i've wiped it down with some 3in1 lubricant leaving only a trace of lubricant on the needle before inserting it back into the airbrush. it only lasted halfway through use before it began to stick again. any thoughts? the manual for the airbrush cautions not to use wd40 as well.

thanks for your input.
