all i have at my house to clean my hands is dish soap and that doesnt get them too clean after working on the engine, so i decided to try something new today. maybe other ppl do this, but i have never heard of it, i used the dish soap and shook some salt onto my hands as well. it worked very well to get the grease off.
Baking powder is the ticket for that. Use the box from the freezer that's supposed to absorb odors rather than the one from the pantry thats for making cookies. The black fingerprints upset the cooks in the house.
pre soap your hands before working on the car , dont rinse them , just coat them in dawn and get to work ...
rags always help too , papertowels dont cut it , typicaly if i dont use my gloves (lets face it gloves cant be used all the time) , ill pre soap my hands , then wash them when done and use a rag to clean futher , then resoap rince and use papertowels
get the water as hot as you can stand too , thatll expand the skin, open pores, and all that crap ....
oh and engine oil makes a good soap too , ever notice how easy your hands come clean after and oil change ? supposedly used oil is a carcinogen so i cant recmoned it ....but ...you know ....
I wear disposable rubber gloves like the ones they use at proctologists!
LOL... I guess if there's any one person that really wants to keep their hands clean, that would be the one. If it works for Dr. Ben Dover, it works for me!
I use brake cleaner. You know, the spray can to clean your brakes. It dries out your skin, so you still have to clean it off with water and soap, but it is well effective and fast.
