Someone turned me onto this today at breakfast.... before starting your next dirty project take a dish washing liquid and rub it into your hands, wrists and arms like you would a hand lotion.... after it dries go on about your business... later when you're done just wash up under the faucet and the dirt and grease comes right off.... I tried it today and it worked... ps get it under your fingernails too by scratching the soaped up area...

I used to get it in my stocking at Christmas. StreetRodding.com Marketing Director [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Springfield,, Illinois   Posted by 31tudor  -  03/21/2008 01:37 PM Putting a good coat of lotion on your hands before getting greasy works good too. I know a lot of us use Fast Orange Hand Cleaner as soap, but it actually works BETTER WITHOUT water believe it or not! Put it on your greasy hands, rub it in like you would normally wash your hands in the sink and wipe with a paper towel!

It has more degreaser than dish washing lotion.

DaveHughes [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] seaman, Ohio   Posted by 31tudor  -  03/21/2008 02:43 PM Ha ha, then you use a special little product called "skin remover". Eric Hibbs [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] St. George, Utah Charter Member since January 2002   Posted by DaveHughes  -  03/21/2008 03:00 PM silicone glove gives me nightmares just thinking about it.. DaveHughes [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] seaman, Ohio   Posted by Streetrodder007  -  03/21/2008 06:52 PM I am a believer in using Kerosene to wash all my parts, and my hands if they are really really greasy. Downfall- they stink like hell for a little while. But they are clean ! Streetrodder007 [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Port Huron, Michigan Charter Member since April 2006   Posted by cat7195  -  03/21/2008 07:21 PM I use odorless mineral spirits for my parts washer and extreme hand cleaning. Works great. cat7195 [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Houston, Texas   Posted by Jaybird  -  03/21/2008 07:45 PM I've used a product called Invisible Glove since the early eighties. One tube lasts you a year or so. works great. My coworkers always ask how I keep my hands clean even though I dive into trannys motors and the like on a regular basis. Only drawback is if you get your hands wet. Slippery mess just like with detergent.

I will stick to the greasy stuff. StreetRodding.com Marketing Director [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Springfield,, Illinois   Posted by 29robert  -  03/22/2008 09:21 AM Years ago, I worked at a Jaguar shop during the day and a Chicken Delight store at night. Never worried about the greese under my nails cause every night I had to mix up great big batches of cole slaw by hand and that stuff is better than any hand cleaner and its great for your skin as well. Course I never ate the cole slaw!!! 29robert [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] La Verne, California Charter Member since November 2004   Posted by 1carguy  -  03/22/2008 01:46 AM I've tried lots of different products. For me GOJO orange is the best. Stuff works. 1carguy [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Pleasanton, California   Posted by indianacookie  -  03/22/2008 10:34 AM Something else that works great is citrus air freshner, and it smells like citrus. works great when you're on the road and you need quick clean up. indianacookie [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] LaPorte, Indiana   Posted by TYCHOOCHOO  -  03/22/2008 11:36 AM The best one, have someone else do the work, you just drive it.
