Question Airbrush cleaning

I'm still new to painting with the airbrush, and i'm finding it takes me forever to clean the gun in between colour changes and once i'm finished.
what i do is remove the colour cup, and wipe inside as good as i can.
Then i take a q-tip to the insides of both the cup and the gun, being careful not do hit the needle.
After that i put the cup back on and try to flush out the rest of the paint with the cleaning solution. I also put my fingers over the cup and the front of the brush and shoot some air & cleaner at the same time. (instructions said to do it) this is where it takes me a lot of time and solution.

What am i doing wrong how do you guys do it?
