If I don't have gloves, I like Lava Soap.

I used to wear those gloves every day and they can be a real pain in the ass. They rip so easily (espcially when doing brake jobs) and then you've got a worthless glove and one dirty finger.

cleaning one dirty finger is easier than cleaning 10 dirty fingers. when it rips, put on another...simple as rocket science.

It's inconvenient if you work in an actual garage. If you're working on your own car at home, it's not that big of a deal.

I have tried them all and the only thing that really works for me and I cant even believe it is my wifes Bath and Body works Cherry Blosson hand soap. I use just a little bit and it is unbelievable (unbelieveable I say) on how well it works to get off all kinds of grease and oil incluiding motor oil and wheel berring grease. Takes the stuff right off the hands like it was magic

To get the stuff out from under your nails though take a shower and scrub the heck out of your hair and next thing you know its all gone.

I like how you put in the fragrance. Thumbs up from me man!

My dad is a Mechanic and the only day he ever had clean nails was on his wedding day, and my Aunt used bleach....

But that was in the mid 70's so they may not have had the soaps we now enjoy.
