What do mechanic use to clean their hands?

[CMF_Mimz]

Ive use detergent, soap etc.. but cant fully get a clean hands after working with cars. Still oil and grease. So what do mechanic use. Ive seen one that has some kind of course thing in it and its like a paste. Any idea on that it is?

use landuary powder. front loader/top loader... what ever... works a treat.

Protector Pink is the one Mechanics use. wins alot.

This kind of stuff:

Solvol, Orange Scrub.. all that kinda stuff is easily found at Bursons, R&E's and the like and is infinitely better than using soap.

When you say detergent, do you mean dishwashing detergent? Using canned degreaser is more effective than that!

the pink handwash is the pick of the bunch, morning fresh detergent is also prob the best out of the kitchen and is favoured by panelbeaters and painters, also disposible gloves for the dirtiest work, if all fail I use thinners

wear some rubber gloves that are used on the wards , brill then just strip thme off when you are finished ... and keep a set in the car for changing the spare

You can get some hand cleaner from repco or sprints

Sorry mate, only Admins can do that! You need to put your password into the 'Password' and 'Verify Password' fields for an email change to work from memory, though. Actually I think that goes for any changes you make to the 'My Details' page. Good luck

Sorry guys, I cannot either. We really need some code writers to give this site a good grease and oil change.

For cleaning hands, gloves first choice but I've found hair shampoo works pretty good and does not dry your hands out so much.

u can buy small tubes of handcleaner like toothpaste size, these are great to keep in your breakdown kit with a coupla rags

 

[CMF_Bishop]

There is some really good products out there, though most only get sold directly to shops, I have some Zip or something simular that comes in a big ass tub, works better than anything, does not dry out hands, costs a bit buy goes a long way.

There is a company called omikron they do the best hand cleaners from grit hand cleaners to non grit hand clears they also have a cream called barrier cream which mechanics use in the morning before working on stuff so at the end of the day they use the hand cleaner and stuff comes off with out having to scrubb for ages a quick rub and rinse and done it's awesome

Used coffee grind with dish washing detergent. Power full mix of scrub and clean. Or use clean sand instead of old coffee. coffee works better.

Initially it looks like a catastrophe but then it all comes clean after a good rinse.

Problem Down Under is the preference for instant coffee. Not a good idea. If you don't have any old coffee make friends with that barista girl from the cafe on the corner. She will have heard a few good pick ups so tell her this is not for a truck but for a Micra.
