Best Mechanic Waterless Wipes

[armenakadino]

I am looking for what is the best mechanic waterless wipes to buy for the garage. In the garage there is no sink and I need something to wipe off when working in the garage. I currently use baby wipes which sort of work.

Brakleen and blue papertowels ?

Go Jo wipes in bucket

These are hands down the best I've ever used. They will clean your hands every bit as well as handcleaner will.

I second the gojo wipes. I think they're the main reason I haven't finished plumbing my sink in the shop.

Kresto Kwik Wipes, don't know about "the best", but they work.

Wear latex gloves, you won't need to wash your hands.

Every single guy in every shop I have worked in for at least the last 15-20 years wears them. Nobody gets their hands dirty anymore.

I have to agree with this. And you're not walking around all the time with dirty fingernails, or ground-in black dirt. I buy gloves, and encourage everyone to use them.

Side benefit: some chemicals and residues are hazardous to our health, some substances are almost impossible to clean off (smell). Gloves make this a problem of the past.

I get mine at BJs, cheap and effective.

I agree. We use these and they are great.

There ya go.
I get mine through my veterinarian by the 1200(6 boxes/case).$25 or so, I think.
Then I have a rag service for red rags.$2X dollars a month.
Safety clean tank service.
Kimberly Clark ********* warez and orange hand cleaner by the gallon.
Uniform service(pants only).

I use snap on medicated hand cleaner. It's a reddish orange goop. No grit in it. Best stuff I've ever used both with water or with out. Just scrub into hands, then dry with shop rags or disposable towels.

I definitely agree with the gloves and been using SAS Ravens which work perfectly. I just wanted wipes for those time where you end up forgetting to wear gloves.

Does anyone have or use a wall mounted dispenser for the wipes.

We sell Tub O Towels as well as use them in our shop. No complaints by us or from customers. Less "grit" in them than the Gojo wipes, but still take off grease, dirt and oil really well.

Brawny the paper towel company makes a moistened towel in a pail, they were giving them away at work, work well, not sure what they cost. they come in buckets like the above.

And you're not walking around all the time with dirty fingernails,

A girl mechanic showed me how to completely avoid the dirty fingernails thing. Before she started work each day she just scratched a bar of soap with her nails. The soap keeps the dirt out.
I'd been turning wrenches for 30+ years when I found out about this trick...

A friend gave me a container of these, and they're far better than any other wipe I've ever tried.

Plus, your hands don't have a nasty residue afterwards. With most of these "wet" wipes you have to wash afterwards before you touch anything delicate or eat.
