When i get really grimmy, i put 2 spoon full of gasoline on a paper towel and WET WIPE to get 90% of the crud gone.. Back to work ... or go to laundry tub and wash up with liquid laundry soap and water rinse.

Same here on the gasoline and paper towels for the really grimy jobs,,,then follow up with the Go Orange to get rid of the gas smell and to keep my crocodile hands from drying up ,,,  I also use Dawn as that stuff will cut oil better than most others.. I always remember that commercial after the ship that dumped a bunch of oil up in Alaska years ago and they used Dawn to hand wash those animals covered with oil especially those baby ducklings,,,, I have recently been informed by my GF of a product that is beyond belief called Grandma's at Walmart. I use it on the oil stains on my clothes and is very impressive,,,!!! but quite pricy,,,

My parts washer has and still works very well for cleaning up the paws. It holds 57 gallons and I distill it about every year or so topping off the little evaporation that does take place, Got my own little scrub brush for under the nails cleaning too along with a few other tools of the trade for cleaning parts.

Distill it?[/QUOTE]
Yes, exactly. I have a distillation unit used for machine coolants or whatever you wish to remove contaminants from. It works excellent on light hydrocarbons and solvents. I use it often to strip ethylene glycol from old engine coolants. At near the same time I run my solvent tank solution through it and everything comes back out crystal clear. You then scrape out the remains from the stainless vessel and throw it away.

Old man hands is usually a sign of lower free testosterone. Which is pretty normal for guys our age. Your md can write you an rx for a cream to help with it or put you on supplemental testosterone. Just like everything else, there are side effects. Life with manopause

I don't care if it's pink or any other color as long as it cleans my hands without causing them to crack!! Been using it for many years now.

Man-o-paws?
We could spend a whole lotta money on all the crazy stuff advertised... ...But then it STILL wouldn't be 'free' testosterone...

Ten Amendments, Ten Commandments, and one Golden Rule solve most every problem. Citrus hand-cleaner with Pumice does the rest.
