leave hands unwashed BEFORE garage work. apply some sort of oil. I use ATF sometimes.


work, get a little dirty.


clean up: liquid soap with green scotch-brite pad.


if tar is involved, then mineral spirits to remove tar.

X4 on gloves! And if dealing with liquids or grease, rubber gloves. Avoids all of the other headaches in the first place.

I mostly use dish soap. If my hands get especially heinous, I'll start with some Go-Jo and then follow up with dish soap.

I have a very difficult time working with gloves on for some reason.

I go through lots of nitrile gloves from harbor freight. About 8-10 pairs just last night.

Dawn and Lava bars.

Better yet, keep some hand scrubs with your tools, when you finish the job, scrub your hands with the wipes/scrubs and remove almost all of the junk Before you go into the house.

I have used both of these, and they are great;

Before I head to the garage I rub some dish soap, like Dawn or Sunlight, straight onto my hands and away I go. A few drops is all it takes to coat your hands. When finished dish soap and water and I'm good to go.

I use hand lotion when I'm on my way out to turn a wrench.

They actually make a product specifically for that. It's called "Barrier Cream".

Dish soap has always worked for me. Don't use gasoline.

Yea ditto, so a box of blue gloves can go quick, & weary of buying more.
