Waterborne VS Solvent Based Paint Review

After using the Cromax Pro Waterborne paint system for nearly 6 months I have decided I have enough experience with it to do a comparison video to Solvent based paints.
You will be watching me paint a Holden VE Commodore wagon in Quicksilver metallic: 470G using Cromax Pro and a Mazda 6 wagon in Blue Reflex Mica: 42B in Concept No-Mix Solvent based basecoat.
There are clear advantages to both water and solvent and I will go into detail about the key points that make either stand out.
The difference between "waterborne" and "water based" is that waterborne still has a small amount of solvents in it.
I am told around 11-12% for Cromax Pro, but "water based" has no solvents in it, when "waterborne" paint is dry you will not be able to freshen it up by applying water but even after water base is dry you will be able to freshen it by applying water.
This is why when using waterborne paint you will still need to use some solvent to fully clean the gun because once dry the water won't freshen it back up.
Hope that made sense but basically look at the water in waterborne like the vehicle to get the paint to the panel, then it will evaporate and none will be left behind.
EDIT: Submitted comment by SATAMAN Schmidt:
Gunman, you're a little off base with the difference between waterborne and waterbased. Your house paint is waterbase and when it rains it doesn't run off now does it? In America these terms are used pretty much interchangeably but they shouldn't be. In waterborne systems the key chemical is something called a GLYCOL ETHER. This is a unique and very important group of chemicals that are called bridging solvents. The reason they are called that is that they can mix completely with either solvents or water. Antifreeze (ethylene glycol) is the most common version of a glycol ether. In waterborne paints Butyl Cellosolve and Glycol Ether PM are commonly used to keep the resins in solution rather than lacquer thinner or acetone in a solvent system. Waterbased paints are colloidal suspensions whereas solvent paints and waterborne paints (like lacquer or waterborne basecoat) are resins in solution
