mineral spirits
Petroleum-based thinner
Mineral spirits is a petroleum-derived solvent used for thinning oil-based paints, cleaning brushes, and degreasing metal surfaces.
It evaporates cleanly without residue.
Also called white spirit or paint thinner, though technically distinct from some products sold under that name: Clean the brushes with mineral spirits before the paint dries.
