    Re: cheap and fast way to clean hands after working on car

    My Father owned a chain of Auto Repair Garages, he supplied Barrier Cream for all the work shops and used it himself before doing any work on cars. Makes clean up easier and helps prevent risky chemicals getting into your system.

    He also had spotless workshops and insisted that all parts were cleaned before repair started, all cars were groomed before they were returned to their owners.

    I'll pass on gloves, latex, ect. I prefer the 100% feeling of bare skin lol. Anyway cooking grease of any kind is out of the question because we don't use it. Our food is either baked, steamed, or raw.

    Barrier Cream sounds similar to what I was talking about. Invisible Glove was originally made by 3M.

    Another preventative that I learned a long time ago, is to always clean all of your tools after you have finished the job, or the day if that is more appropriate.

    Then when you do have something to do that may not be particularly dirty or dirty at all, you aren't bringing grease & oil out of your tool box/chest whatever, to the job.

    Boy I've seen some filthy grease & oil pits that people use to store their tools in. Their tools certainly won't rust anyway...

    Scrub your hands in fresh dirt rinse and repeat

    nothing like good old fashion dirt to get those filthy hands clean
