Then I wash it out with hot soap (dishwashing) and very hot water, then blast with compressed air, then spray with lacquer thinner, then blow with compressed air again.

It works well for a parts cleaner. Just make sure you have ventilation and wear gloves. I typically wash all engine parts with hot water and strong dishwashing soap then blow dry thoroughly, then spray with lacquer thinner then blow again.
