Well after visiting 3 different gas stations and two different hardware stores I still can't find any kerosene to clean the grease off my new lathe. What else can I use that won't hurt the bed of my lathe or damage the painted surfaces? A guy at Woodcraft said I can just use mineral spirits but my manual says "no paint thinner" and I always thought mineral spirits *was* paint thinner. It was also suggested I could use an orange based cleaner to remove the grease. Any suggestions?
