steady cedar
I have the bad habit of not tossing my paint water after each session, usually it sits for quite a while just always topping it up. I only work in acrylic paint
I use a glass jar with a stainless steel coil in it.
Is there something I can maybe fill it with that will dissolve the leftover paint so I can rinse it and get the residue off?

I rarely toss my paint water. Running water is enough to get rid most of it. Then using an old big brush will get most of what is left. And then a mild scouring pad with hot water and a few drops of dish soap will remove all, leaving the glass as new.

I have one of these. And there is like a colored texture on the coil and jar.... Though now that you say that, I wonder if it's something from my water.

If it never dries then running water should be enough
marsh needle
LA Awesome - Dollar Tree $1.25 a qt. and they sell gallons for $4.50 iirc. It will strip most dried paint. It should have no problem making your paint cups sparkle.
leaden stone
My paint cup is pretty ugly. I don't change my paint water out every time I paint, and over time paint has cured on the sides from evaporation, and deposited on the bottom. Some paint does come off with rinsing but most of it doesn't. It really doesn't matter for anything but aesthetics I guess.

If I get a bunch of gunk settled out, running hot water, dish soap, and a bottle brush (dedicated one for trash jobs... Not the water bottle one)
