I ended up finding a paint store with mineral spirits for 9 a gallon. Seems high, but by the time I put enough of anything in my washer to work, it becomes crazy expensive. I wish I had the $$$ extra income to pay for a company to come out and just clean it for me. I can't use water based...

Hello all- I want to use mineral spirits in my parts washer. I need at least 10 gallons for the monster washer I bought off craigslist. 10 per gallon at the local stores = 100 total...not great!

Ended up bidding on them for 800 each with a friend. They have to be out in 3 days if we win. I am about 6 months away from installation in my garage, so if we don't get them at that price, no big deal, other good ones will pop up!

Hey all- Have a chance to bid on either of these lifts. They are in VERY good shape. I know they are asymmetric 2 post, 7k capacity. A call to Rotary revealed that the 200 is at least 15 years old and the 18 is at least 20 years old. What would you bid on them? I am thinking 1k tops...

Nice to see you on here too! Forum folk get around eh? That coating looks extremely promising! Self install (cheap), durable, withstands jacks, etc. ....very nice! And they are in Michigan, will be calling them tomorrow for questions :)

Hello all! First post here! I am buying a house in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Has a very large (for downtown) detached garage (34x24 feet). I think it would be wise before I move all my stuff into the garage that I finish the walls and floor. Walls are easy (so I think), drywall and done...
