When I change color on my bottom feed or side feed, I don't have gravity feed. I use regulator which I added with help of guys from this forum. So I have one regulator+hose+quick disconnect just for changing color and when I am done. Right now it's set on 80 psi, but usually it's on 60. So when I changing colors I spray windows cleaner and water after that on 60 psi.
After I am done I disconnect my airbrush and connect it to other hose+quick disconnect which has much lower pressure and I use that for airbrushing. After I am done for the day i do the same spraying on 60 psi and soak parts which you did see on picture, the rest I clean immediately like seen on picture. I don't do back flushing cause I don't see a purpose in it, 60 psi throws everything out. More or less.
White color can be pain and sometimes I need to disasemble front so I can see the needle and just wipe it out, but this happens not so often. Happens if I don't use my 60 psi regulator(to clean it in between) and I let white color to sit to much in my airbrush. I got similar setup like Twood has. I stole his idea -.-
Either way there is lot's of ways how you can clean your airbrush and people here do it each their own way. There are general rules, but to me looks like everyone manipulates those rules to find the way he/she likes the most.
here is a screen shot from Iwata when I asked them that question Ttxela

Ah, good stuff. My brush is an Iwata so I shall continue removing my needle from the back
I do find back flushing helps the cleaning process though so I'll probably continue with that too!
