Does anyone have experience/long term results from applying SPGX without acid etching or grinding? From what I have seen in other posts, SPGX appears to be the only polyurea that can be applied without prep. I am planning on power washing my new power troweled slab, but the steel building is...

Atlas has some extra tall and/or extra wide models to choose from. Sent from my BND-L34 using The Garage Journal mobile app

Typically, American made lifts are double to quadruple the price of the Chinese ones. Yes, even with the tariffs. American made - Mohawk is the industry leader while Challenger and Rotary are other great ones. As far as Chinese ones go, Bend-Pak and Atlas are pretty well respected. If you...

What is your budget range? You can get lifts from as low as $1500 up to $10k+. Are you set on American Made?

Sounds like over $1k in labor/warranty/throw away of old material. Retail cost for everything is about $1500 on the high side. Since they are a dealer, they are getting the stuff for significantly less. I don't know if you have coupons for this stuff where you live, but I get coupons in the...

I've got an Echo SRM-225 (Home Depot - $199) and it has been great for my 3 acres. I use Motomix (or any 50:1 premix) fuel in it so I don't have to mess with mixing. Stihl makes a great product as well. Now, its a straight shaft and these tend to be a little heavier than curved shaft models...

FWIW, Derek Weaver is also a part of the same Dover group (VSG/Dover is the parent company) mentioned above. When you look up the Derek Weaver WPro10 on the ALI certification site, it is actually listed as a Rotary branded lift (thanks ncfireman1918). If you have the funds, always go big...

That's a big boost in my confidence. I appreciate the comparison and comments. I'm making the call today. Going with the Derek Weaver W-Pro10. It should work perfect for the variety that I will need to lift. Small sports cars, heavy and long classics, 3/4 truck, etc. Thanks again!

The fact that they have a showroom alone makes me feel better. It shows they are proud of their stuff and is of higher quality than those cheaper companies that may be hiding something. They appear to be very comparable to Atlas at Greg Smith. Greg Smith does all of the in house testing to...

Does anyone have experience (or know anyone who has) with Derek Weaver branded lifts? In particular, the Weaver W-Pro10 (PL10N000). Its Certified and lift gate delivered for $2799. I cant seem to find many positive or negative things about them. I want something safe, but my budget needs...

Hey everyone, first time poster here. I tried to find a thread with anyone's experience with Polyurea and no flakes, but didn't have any luck. The 40x60 slab for my steel building was poured last week and was power troweled so the finish is pretty smooth. The building goes up next week! I am...
