What kind of hand cleaner do you guys use after working on your car/s?

I used to use GoJo, but I use Boraxo now. It's a powder, you wet your hands and sprinkle some powder on your hands...like sand paper, works great. Also gets rid of any scent on your hands, whether it be gas or fish. :D

I use the pool cleaner we have for our pool :lol: It is supposed to be used to clean the stubborn side stains on the side of the pool, but I be damned if it doesn't clean my hands nicely. Has a nice fruit scent to it too :lol:

I use a product made by Malco. They call it "Cherry Hand Cleaner". I also use a product made by Tecumesh (yeah, the engine company) that has lanolin in it.

Have GoJo at home, but want to try that boraxo stuff. I am assuming it is borax based?

Highly reliable source (Wikipedia) on Boraxo :lol:

Yes, it is mostly Borax as the name implies.

Well, you are supposed to use it on a sponge, so you can get it on your hands. No clue what is in it. If my skin starts coming off, I'll discontinue use :lol:

I use "TOUGH NUTZ" hand cleaner at the shop here, it works pretty good. Pumice, and it smells like blackberries or something.

At home, I use "THE WORX". Its a green powder, you just rub and the grease turns to flakes, and falls off your hands. Then you wash them clean.

Well, I am not sure where the shop buys the tough nutz, but the worx I get in a tub from Wal Mart. I quite like the worx, but its expensive, so I only use it after major surgery. ;-)

Good stuff, I grew up using it.

WD-40 will do in a pinch. It also helps remove grease from work clothes. Spray it on the spot(s) before you put them in the machine.
