My new Jet has a protective coating...like a gel. What is a good degreaser and what kind of protective lubricant do you coat the lathe with. I'm cleaning the lathe in the garage and prefer not to stink the place up. No Kerosene or mineral spirits to be used. Thanks. Frank

I use acetone and a rag, cleans things up nicely. Then i use a teflon lube for the ways and banjo. Just my way and it works.
