Hi guys, what brand of white spirit do you use to do washes on tanks and airplanes? I´m looking for one in matt finish, once dry.
Can you recomend some brand and a place to buy it?
Thank you very much in advance.

White spirit in the US is commonly known as "mineral spirits" and can be purchased at Lowe's or Home Depot in a large half-gallon container for a very small amount of money.
That said, I would recommend a slightly less aggressive thinner called Turpenoid, which can be purchased at any Michael's store. It is a Turpentine substitute and is chemically more gentle and doesn't smell as badly as mineral spirits. Make sure to get the artificial one, and not the "natural" brand. I use Turpenoid to mix my oil paints for washes and it does a good job.
