Hand Cleaner favorites

[seber]

I worked at the corner garage during college. They had a product you rubbed into your hands before working on cars. It was supposed to help at cleanup time. I don't remember if it actually helped.

Anyone remember this

Silicone glove. I use it when working on stone.

Yes! But I don’t remember the name.

Bringing this back to life.
I did the exact same thing. We moved in June and I left the old gojo pump over the mop sink in the garage thinking I would just get a new one when I build my new garage. The new garage is done and I just started looking for the pump and see it's discontinued.
I didn't really see an answer on replacing it here. I want the same one-handed plunger pump so I can get cleaner with one dirty hand.
Anybody ever figure out anything?

Zep wall mount dispensers are pretty easy to do one handed. They have a variety of cleaners to go in them. Personally I like the Cherry Bomb the best and Double Play and orange to go with it. Don’t know of any other GoJo ones.

I just started a jug of Purple Power that I bought at Oreillys. So far, I think it's the best I've used. Definitely better than the Orange GoJo that it replaced.

Gal mechanic I know showed me a neat trick. She'd scrape a bar of soap with her fingernails before work & the soap would keep the grease & dirt etc from getting under her nails, then it would just wash out when she cleaned up leaving her nails spotless.

I wish we could buy Swarfega here, sold in the UK, but banned in the US. Looks like green jello, smells great.

I'm using "Autosol Hand Cleaning Paste".

The graybeards will recall this line: "Only one thing will clean these hands, Mister."

Kresto is the best I've used; very little is needed. The thing with Kresto is it needs more liquid to make it more fluid. A small squirt of Kresto and a couple squirts of foaming hand soap and rinse with water and your hands are clean. If your hands are really dirty, it'll probably take a second application.
