Felix Posted June 21, 2006 Report Posted June 21, 2006 i find clothes washing powder works pretty good. stings like mad in cuts. Quote
Xany Posted June 21, 2006 Report Posted June 21, 2006 Theres only one thing that gets it off really well....Solvol.... :) *disclaimer: May take 3 layers of skin off with the grease* Quote
st.nick Posted June 21, 2006 Report Posted June 21, 2006 All of the above are great, and I have used those in the past... :) We had some crazy 'gojo' stuff on a sexy lookin wall-mounted dispenser... and it smelt real noice!!! :y: Quote
Robert Posted June 21, 2006 Report Posted June 21, 2006 I use the kero from the parts washer the some gritty soap stuffb :) Quote
Felix Posted June 21, 2006 Report Posted June 21, 2006 i recently discovered these: only need to clean my fingers now. :) Quote
ke30king Posted June 21, 2006 Report Posted June 21, 2006 a bit of pump soap with a little mound of clothes powder :) Quote
Trev Posted June 21, 2006 Report Posted June 21, 2006 I used to use Nulon orange but now i use Dreumex Plus Savon Gel it works great and has alot of moisturisers in it. Quote
Dan Posted June 21, 2006 Report Posted June 21, 2006 I find degreaser in a can and solvol soap works great... had some coarse gooey shit, but ran out of it (daddy didn't bring home anymore :)) Though, I try to remember to wear riggers gloves while i'm working... Quote
Raven Posted June 21, 2006 Author Report Posted June 21, 2006 Gloves seems to be a good idea. Whats a pair of those gloves worth? Quote
bruce Posted June 21, 2006 Report Posted June 21, 2006 Lately the only thing I can get my hands on is washing up detergent. My mate whos a mechanic uses some hand cleaning stuff at his work thats got like grains of sand in it, and its got moisturiser. The grains of sands help rub of the grease Quote
Felix Posted June 21, 2006 Report Posted June 21, 2006 Whats a pair of those gloves worth? think they cost me about $30. not cheap, but well worth it. i just leave them soak after use overnight, then put them through the washing machine. :) Quote
