jannosmit Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 i love working on my bike, but greasy hands afterwards can be a real pain! a simple trick that works well is to rub your hands with a bit of degreaser beforehand, and let it dry. this creates a layer and your hands are much easier to clean any tips or tricks for clean hands afterwards that you want to share?
CAAD4 Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 Ja, latex gloves. About R50 bucks for a whole box at Dischem. You can also use them if you work at the airport.....
Danger Dassie Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 Latex gloves, otherwise hand sanitiser before hand.
Minion Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 That workshop soap with sand in it works brilliantly for removing grease afterwards.
The Drongo Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Sunlight liquid and automatic washing powder paste. Even gets diesel black out.
Mojoman Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Sunlight liquid and automatic washing powder paste. Even gets diesel black out.My dad who worked on the mines used to use this trick, works well!
TNT1 Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Ja, latex gloves. About R50 bucks for a whole box at Dischem. You can also use them if you work at the airport..... I use them in my ball shaving shack.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Don't know what it's called, but it's pink, or green (different brands) and comes in a big tub. Feels like that facewash with the grits in it, but with FAR more grits and it would take your face off if you udes it to wash your face with. Gets everything off. But - if you're struggling with cash - get some sand, some sunlight/handy andy and some water. It basically becomes a rubbing compound, and that's all you need to get the grit off.
American Flyers Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 I also feel the same, the worst part is that I striggled to clean black nails....

jugheaddave Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Aparently sugar and soap works. Sugar acts as the compound.
Cassie Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 I use them in my ball shaving shack. Any Thai "ladies" pitched up lately??
Christopher Brunsdon Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Green sunlight soap and VIM - its also an awesome exfoliation, but remember to use hand cream afterwords because it dries your skin.
