i find clothes washing powder works pretty good. stings like mad in cuts.

Theres only one thing that gets it off really well....Solvol.... :)

 

*disclaimer: May take 3 layers of skin off with the grease*

Yep Dynamo Works a treat.

degreaser

All of the above are great, and I have used those in the past... :)

 

We had some crazy 'gojo' stuff on a sexy lookin wall-mounted dispenser... and it smelt real noice!!! :y:

I use the kero from the parts washer

 

the some gritty soap stuffb :)

i recently discovered these:

 

 

only need to clean my fingers now. :)

protecta pink

a bit of pump soap with a little mound of clothes powder :)

I used to use Nulon orange but now i use Dreumex Plus Savon Gel it works great and has alot of moisturisers in it.

I find degreaser in a can and solvol soap works great... had some coarse gooey shit, but ran out of it (daddy didn't bring home anymore :))

 

Though, I try to remember to wear riggers gloves while i'm working...

Gloves seems to be a good idea.

 

Whats a pair of those gloves worth?

Lately the only thing I can get my hands on is washing up detergent.

 

My mate whos a mechanic uses some hand cleaning stuff at his work thats got like grains of sand in it, and its got moisturiser. The grains of sands help rub of the grease

Whats a pair of those gloves worth?

 

think they cost me about $30. not cheap, but well worth it. i just leave them soak after use overnight, then put them through the washing machine. :)
