what is a good hand cleaner product that will get gas/oil and everything else off your hands after a long day under the hood?

 

Gojo- orange bottle. Has pumice in it that literally scrapes the grime off.

The best thing for me has been Mechanix gloves. I now only use my bare hands for the more precise things like starting to thread a bolt.

 

aka Agent Orange - its good stuff

 

Yeah...I second, or third the Gojo-orange. However, due to my **** nature I need to take a scotch brite pad to my hands with the Gojo-orange to get it all.

 

Due to MY **** nature I try to wear gloves most of the time.

It's the stuff UNDER the nails that you have to try to prevent.

 

gojo doesn't always cut it so I tend to mix between gojo and dawn/etc dish soap

 

Nitrile gloves FTW

 

what are we, doctors?

 

And you laughed at me when I told you that years ago.

 

There is this stuff called called GOOP that has gotten EVERY type of car-related organic substance off of my hands with little/no difficulty at all. Doesn't dry or scrape the crap out of your hands either. Good stuff!

 

Fast Orange is what we use at the dealer. Best thing i've used so far including gojo orange.

 

You my friend are an automotive surgeon. I would expect no less.

 

I wear gloves all the time. Gas, oil, grease ect, it's not good for your skin.

 

I wear gloves. I hate dirty hands now. Esepcially since I gotta sit there for 20 min cleaning my nails. Not too great showing up for your office job with grime under your nails.

 

Getting those things on your skin are of little consequence as long as you wash it off in a timely matter. Yea, if you have used oil on your skin all day long you're just asking for long-term skin cancer.

 

Gojo is what TN Tech buys buy the gallon, pretty much. They use the Gojo Orange with the pumice, but I find that the regular Gojo (white bottles usually about $1 in Autozone or such) works better.

 

Amen to that. But skin cancer on your hands should probably be the least of your worries because at least you would be able to see it and get it taken care of early. It's the petroleum products getting absorbed through your skin and being carried to all parts of your body that should scare you. You can't see the damage being done to your liver, kidneys, etc.

 

:bsflag:



years ago I didn't do the same bullsh1t I do now
it doesn't work with oil as much as I woud like :-/

crappy thing about gojo is once you rinse your hands it's pretty much worthless, and while the "scrubbing" it does can be nice, if you use it often it sucks, esp. if you aren't a woman and don't wear gloves and scraped up

 

We get all kinds of nasty stuff here at the range and Fast Orange seems to work better than Gojo. Remember, the trick is NOT to wet your hands before applying the stuff to your hands. Its sort of counter-intuitive, but apply it dry, scrub your hands and THEN rinse.

I eat grease for breakfast.....

 

Thus your avatar......

 

That would be the whiskey..

 

I use a 55 gallon drum of Seafoam to clean my hands

 

haha just picked up the orange at advanced, my hands are still dirty.

 

Gotta use gloves, best thing to do to keep MOST of the grime off...after that, use GOJO Orange.

 

Whenever I wear gloves they are worthless. I can't feel cr*p, they end up tearing, my hands get all hot and bothered so I end up taking them off anyways.

Man hands is when you have dirt and grime under your nails with matching cuts on your fingers, hands, and arms. Glove boys are useless homos.

 

So let me get this straight. You actually LIKE your hands dirty? If theres anything I hate more its digging at/breaking off my fingernails getting the friggen grease out of them.

 

I never said I like when my hands are dirty. I said that they are "man hands" when dirty. It is something I can deal with if I have dirty hands...big deal.

Now go get a manicure.

 

I shop teacher recommends D&L hand cleaner. Its the same as Gojo but without the fresh scent.
