Favorite Hand Cleaner

[bavbob]

Interested in opinions. I have tried many kinds and after years, have recently rediscovered "Goop" for 2 bucks.

I like Goop as well, but lately I've been using Tarkelp from Harbor Freight. It works well and leaves your hands clean. Their nitrile gloves are another good buy and they keep your hands from needing as much scrubbing, though in the 100 degree heat, I can't wear them long because my hands get waterlogged with sweat, but it beats the wear and tear from scrubbing out the grease.

Ignore the stain on my thumb, I'm painting the house and hadn't washed up yet.

I wear nitrile gloves and go through a few pears during an evening. I have boxes of the orange textured ones from Costco. They are very sturdy.

My parts car is absolutely filthy. The 4spd just may have been dunked in the La Brea Tar Pits. I left the trans in a box outside my garage for a friend to pickup. He left me a voicemail thanking me for the set of gloves I left him.

Anyway moral of the story is that I don't have/use hand cleaner. I use dawn dish soap if I need to scrub my arms.

Easy. Jack Manufacturing Magic. Best hand cleaner I've ever used. They make the best hand wipes as well.

Just don't spill any in your grass. I had a section of scorched earth for a good three years. I eventually dig it up and stuck a piece of sod there.

I like these nitrile gloves when dealing with greasy bits as well. To avoid the condensation issue I actually mostly wear a set of Gorilla Grip gloves (Home Depot) which are breathable. When I need to deal with nasty stuff I put a pair of the nitrile gloves one size larger over the Gorilla ones. They remove easily afterwards and the condensation then evaporates quickly from the Gorillas.

Not something doctors can do. If my gloves are still good and I need to remove them, I put my mouth up to the base and inflate them while removing. It keeps them from going inside out.

That's funny. Most of the time my gloves are soaked with sweat inside and I need to invert them so they will dry. If I haven't dried my hands well enough, or if the gloves are aren't fully dry. I'll blow into the gloves to help me get them on.
