To clean your greasy hands that are black aftera days work on a car

[03mach1]

When I work on my thunderbird my hands turn black after working on it and my friend found a way to clean your hands without orange fast. Dish soap (pomolive) and (tide) laundry soap. It is really effective on the grease and cleans them really well. You don't need much detergent soap. maybe a nickle amount or less.

Dish soap and some Bar Keepers Friend works well too.

I use goop. Works great. Thats only when I forget to wear a glove. (Happens more often then I care to admit.) lol

I wear surgical gloves then just peal them off when I'm done

The original GOGO can be used as a tire dressing. Gives tires a satin black look , but doesent last very long.

I also use disposable gloves...usually 2-4 pair per vehicle...I think of it as masking off trim before you detail...if I can keep my hands clean, I won't have to wash them later !...

I usually end up spraying my hands off with my can of Stoner's Tarminator or with my mix 50:50 IPA:H2O mix... lol

I learned this from my dad a while back, and it works pretty darned good...

Put a little bit of petroleum jelly on your hands and work it into your hands. The petroleum jelly will help seal up the pores a little bit and be a preventative measure against the grease getting onto your skin & staining it black. Now, I don't mean make it so that your hands are all greasy with the petroleum jelly, but just a nice, thin layer - otherwise, your tools may slip out of your hands.

It's not perfect; my dad said it worked great on his wedding day to keep the grease off his hands when he was working on his car, but in his wedding photos you can see the dirt & grease under his fingernails.

Goop is a hand cleaner. Been around for as long as I can remember. Similar to Go-Jo. Our local dollar store carries it. At a $1.00 a 16 oz. tub, you can not beat it.

i have found that hair shampoo works about the best for me. i worked on cars for 5yrs and had washed my hands aleast 5 times a day everyday hand cleaner,and nothing works as well as shampoo.also try putting a few towels or even wash mitts in the washer with a squirt of shampoo,i promise they will come out clean and VERY soft.
