Now I don't want any Lude comments here as its not ment that way.
But
Some will know when I work in the Garage I work with out shoe's and I normaly end up covered in grease and grim head to toe
To clean myself I use good old Sugar Soap in the bottel which work a treat.
I even keep a bottel in the boot for the wreckers

But I hate the stuff under my finger nails.

What do use :idea:

the sard wonder soap pre wash stain remover in a squirter bottle works wonders (no pun intended) as well with a nail brush...

I know and your hands get sweaty - but for a quick job where cleaning up will take longer than the actual job - like checking battery levels, oil or changing tyres or something when you are on your way out - can't beat them for a quick clean up :wink:

Get some shoes on Jim!! man you can step on all sorts of nasties and next minute you have cut or bruised yerself.

I find that any of the hand cleaners, detergent etc do a good job....under the fingernails (keep em short!) means soaking in hot to warm water then nail brushing.

I have used disposable/kitchen gloves for battery/radiator work etc :!:

Can't go past the good ol' Solvol I reckon. Works great on the soles of the feet which will be the blackest after working without shoes. Exfoliates the face nicely too. :D

Hey, has anyone else done that little jig when trying weld in thongs and some slag gets on your feet? What about a bad case of MIGburn from the UV when you forgot to put a shirt on?

Keep cutting your nails shorter till nothin gets under there.
