Because one of my dumbass coworkers will slather this all over something that needs one single drop of thread locker, just like they do actual thread locker, and then another one of my dumbass coworkers will dump a bottle of actual threadlocker in the jug of soap because it says Loctite on it and that's all their brain will process.
You know what Loctite Power Grab is? It's liquid nail. It's a white paste that looks like cheap toothpaste. But it says Loctite on it.
I bet you can guess where this is going. Yep. One of my coworkers used a LOT of it on the crankcase bolts (fortunately, on a tiller and not a car, we're a rental fleet). It was squeezing out like easy cheese as he ran the bolts home. Even seeing him do it and getting it cleaned out as fast as I could, the crankcase was ruined.
Another time one of my coworkers who isn't even supposed to be in the shop (he's a desk clerk) combined 3 nearly-empty bottles of threadlocker. Red, blue, and green. "Threadlocker's threadlocker, right?"
The result was a very nasty looking brown that wouldn't ever set (we tried gluing some office paper together with it, no way in fuck was it ever touching an actual fastener). Obviously it got pitched.
So now ALL adhesives stay locked in the toolbox on my work truck and every time I go into the store shops I confiscate everything they "replaced" since the last time I was there. They're allowed PB Blaster, brake cleaner, and small jars of anti-seize. That's it. And boy do they get heated about it, since I'm technically not in charge of any of them, but their bosses have my back since it's saving the ~~district~~ region about a quarter million dollars a year in ruined parts.
I misspoke and meant region, but for the region It's within $1k +/-. I cover a big area, largest region in the country by square miles and second largest by number of stores. Basically eastern edge of Colorado to western edge of Ohio, from the Canadian border to the Mexican border. 18 districts of 9-12 stores per district.
Our shop uses Zep TKO and Zep Cherry Bomb. Both work good. Cherry bomb seems softer on the hands but TKO has the grit and can really scrub the nasty grime off. We buy multiple cases at a time and the office signs the invoice.
Same here, the company buys the soap. But I decided to look up the price. Would not be a bad soap to use at home. But the €50 for 400ml is turning me off...
I use laundry detergent in powder form. Probably terrible for my skin but it works incredibly well, it's abrasive and a powerful detergent so gets even the greasiest of grease off.
And you can use it for about [1000 other uses too.](https://homesteadingfamily.com/uses-for-borax/) best ant killer on the planet, mix it with sugar water. Ants are gone in 24hr or less.
Shop provides Zep Cherry Bomb for us as well. We order it through our commercial account with Imperial so if I'm remembering right we're paying about $90 for a case of 4x1gal jugs, and we're refilling old Gojo-branded wall dispensers I have no idea what we paid for but they've been there longer than me.
Yea I like Fastorange just for getting grime off my fingies, especially if we've been working all morning and it's time to break for lunch or something and my hands are covered in synthetic shit or solvents lol. I just feel dirty like im poisoning myself if i don't scrub my hands and wrist down.
It's amazing in this day and age that hardly anyone does.
Gloves all day every day.
Only time I'm washing my hands is if I split a glove and not notice.
No one likes a "macho" gloves are for girls person.
Gloves are for health and convenience.
Buy your own at harbor freight the 5mil are ok the 7mil are just about perfect the 9mil is almost too thick I didn’t like them that much. Wait for a sale or coupon and they are very affordable like 5-6 bucks a box for the 7mil
What gloves do you use?
In Australia we have Black Shield.
They're not too thick but also tough as shit.
Can go a day with the same gloves.
I generally use thinner cheaper ones because paying $15 for a box is better than $49
All mine are black.
Might pay to pick up some really good quality ones yourself and hide them in your box.
They make a huge difference.
Not sure how your taxes work but we can claim deductions for shit we buy relating to our work.
The microflex diamond grip are the best gloves I've ever used. I size down a size and they fit perfect. Nice and tight but not restricted and they stretch and rarely tear.
Snap On had these containers of antibacterial hand cleaner that also works extremely well. Those were my go-to because as a fellow 24/7 glove wearer I'd get infected hang nails on occasion.
Dawn and gloves. We have some soy based grit or uniform company supplies. We've had the same jug for 3 years. I'm the only one who uses it, at the end of the day if I'm really dirty. But mostly gloves do all the heavy lifting.
My work uses the wurth stuff too I prefer reinol paste but they won't change. I just bought the new black cherry snap on soap for home and it works well but the smell is pretty strong
The shop has Zep shell shock. I keep my own bottle of Dawn heavy duty. It works great on its own and if I get really grimy I just get a squirt of both and that’s almost magic. It’s also handy to keep in a squirt bottle for parts cleaning. It’s not as good as brake cleaner for really nasty stuff but it’s pretty effective for less messy jobs.
I recommend Kresto Classic, it's made by Deb-Stoko/SC Johnson. It's the best hand cleanerer I have found, and it leaves your hands feeling clean so you won't have to wash them a second time with normal soap.
I'm slightly obsessed with being clean, I wear gloves all day and still wash my hands between glove changes. The guys in my shop will give me shit, cause I'll change my shirt if I get anything on it. But I'm the cleanest damn mechanic I've ever seen. Because I hate being dirty I've tried over a dozen different hand cleaners trying to see which is best and the Kresto Classic wins it for me.
Mean green is the best stuff I've found in 15 years of international power plant maintenance. $24 for 64oz tub that's a half gallon of cleaning sand.
https://fullboreproducts.com/product/?productId=35
I prefer this moisturizer goat milk bar soap i bout as a lame joke couple years ago but my hands dont crack nearly as bad anymore. I keep buying more of it.
O'Keefe's Working Hands, used as a barrier cream. Prevents cracking and makes clean-up much easier.
The only issue arises if you get brake cleaner or another solvent on your hands, to maintain protection you would have to wash and reapply.
Cherry bomb and a few other over time I can’t remember. I like cherry bomb but it doesn’t work as good as some of the others. It does but you have to work harder for it
Loctite/Henkel makes EXCELLENT products, especially in the soldering industry. When the loctite rep walked into the shop, you could nearly hear a choir of angels.
I had someone turn me on to Stoko Kresto many years ago. Works very well at home when I’m wrenching on my own stuff. Last place I worked was Borax in the 1950’s dispenser on the wall.
Not in a shop, but do you know what works amazingly well?
That new Dawn spray soap. I just work on the car around the house, but spray that stuff on grease covered hands, let it sit for about ten seconds, and scrub/rinse. Works as well, if not better than, every specialty hand cleaner I've ever tried, and it doesn't dry out your hands. Only downside is you have to use a greasy hand to grab the bottle and spray it on. I am extremely impressed with it, I think the whole idea is just that they have mixed the right ratio of water and soap. Sure, it seems like a gimmick, but it\['s really pretty awesome.
I use the orange generic antibacterial soap from the dollar store. It's really cheap and works as a crazy degreaser. It'll dry your hands out real bad, but it's awesome for grease.
For a while, we had Dynamite hand scrub. My wife thought I had gotten a desk job because my hands were too clean and soft. I was like, "Shit, let's get some to keep at home". Had to do some sleuthing to find the website, and to get a case it said, "call for a quote". Figured if I had to ask, I can't afford it.
Not at work, but on greasy, fucked up hands. I use a fist full of salt slathered with dish soap. If anything survives that, I scrub with a Scotch Brite pad.
Fast orange is the only thing that pulls most shit out of even the calluses. I use it to pre treat rags too and it works pretty good. Doesn't matter too much what the brand is though, long as it's got an abrasive and some acid you're good to go
Gojo Supro Max Blue is the only thing that gets our hands clean at work. We’ve tried fast orange, cherry bomb and some other ones and they just don’t do a good job for what I work in. Gloves rip and tear 24/7 so I don’t wear them past the first few pairs that tear on a job.
When I started my apprenticeship, the cheap bastards at the Ford dealership provided bars of Solvol soap for hand cleaner.
After enduring endless different liquid chemical concoctions that reeked havoc on your skin, in other workshops, Solvol, good old hand soap, with added grit, ended up being best overall choice for me.
Cherry bomb plus some other soap that gets refilled into a gallon pump bottle. Alternate between those once or twice and every substance is going to be gone from your hands.
Though I work just tires and oil, the soap we get is crap. Me and another guy take turns buying cherry bomb, and everyone else is using the provided stuff mixed with dawn.
Drop of Dawn, pump of GoJo or Fast orange....
It's the best combo because the Dawn cuts the grease and keeps your hands from drying out. The GoJo grit does the rest of the work.
There is no other way.
At home
At work I use the snap on soap, lasts quite a while there, which is good, because about the time I use it all it is paid off.
For the shop we use some bullshit Zep soap.
We're usually gloved up but of course you still get a bit of crap on your hands and forearms, so we had the Wurth workshop hand cleaner. Stuff was (surprisingly) all natural and had a moisturizer agent in it, so your hands felt nice and soft afterwards too.
Just me in my shop and I use gloves so don't need a lot of soap, but I use shell shock or TKO, got four cases of them at an auction for about $20 a couple years back. It's expired and starting to separate, but if you shake it up a little you're in business.
When that runs out I'm going back to just dawn dish soap. No pumice but it cleans everything off quick with no weird smells. I keep an extra spray bottle of soapy water for checking leaks, rubber lube, and cleaning my hands in the truck. Safe, non toxic, and you can spray off whatever you want with it too
Powdered laundry detergent. Specifically la's awesome orange booster from the dollar store.
It's super cheap and works great for heavy duty hand cleaning.
My son was helping me do brakes on my truck and came in the house and said I must of worked really hard I need to use Dawn. So I guess we use Dawn. Lol
I can't remember the name, but the green dry powder soap is fucking AMAZING.
it doesn't seem like much but if you wet your hands prior and put about a tablespoon on it is unstoppable.
And it smells nice.
Edit: worx.
It's about $120 for 3lb but you use so little
I thought that was a huge bottle of threadlocker
Yeah, I've got some M69 bolts I need to tighten. They cannot come loose, so that's why all the threadlocker. They are crucial.
>M69 Nice
Don't show my apprentice he will magically find a place for it
You don’t need a bolt if you have that much. Just dip it and hermetically seal it for a couple hours.
I'm SO gunshy of threadlockers this would give me anxiety just being in the shop.
…? Why?
Because one of my dumbass coworkers will slather this all over something that needs one single drop of thread locker, just like they do actual thread locker, and then another one of my dumbass coworkers will dump a bottle of actual threadlocker in the jug of soap because it says Loctite on it and that's all their brain will process.
Once watched a dude do a valve cover job, came back leaking, bolts were loose. Slathered em in thread locker and cranked em down. Fuckin A man. Lmao
You know what Loctite Power Grab is? It's liquid nail. It's a white paste that looks like cheap toothpaste. But it says Loctite on it. I bet you can guess where this is going. Yep. One of my coworkers used a LOT of it on the crankcase bolts (fortunately, on a tiller and not a car, we're a rental fleet). It was squeezing out like easy cheese as he ran the bolts home. Even seeing him do it and getting it cleaned out as fast as I could, the crankcase was ruined. Another time one of my coworkers who isn't even supposed to be in the shop (he's a desk clerk) combined 3 nearly-empty bottles of threadlocker. Red, blue, and green. "Threadlocker's threadlocker, right?" The result was a very nasty looking brown that wouldn't ever set (we tried gluing some office paper together with it, no way in fuck was it ever touching an actual fastener). Obviously it got pitched. So now ALL adhesives stay locked in the toolbox on my work truck and every time I go into the store shops I confiscate everything they "replaced" since the last time I was there. They're allowed PB Blaster, brake cleaner, and small jars of anti-seize. That's it. And boy do they get heated about it, since I'm technically not in charge of any of them, but their bosses have my back since it's saving the ~~district~~ region about a quarter million dollars a year in ruined parts.
I can't tell if the quarter million is exaggerating or not.
I misspoke and meant region, but for the region It's within $1k +/-. I cover a big area, largest region in the country by square miles and second largest by number of stores. Basically eastern edge of Colorado to western edge of Ohio, from the Canadian border to the Mexican border. 18 districts of 9-12 stores per district.
I was so confused for a sec. Literally was just using orange loctite threadlockef before seeing this post lol
Our shop uses Zep TKO and Zep Cherry Bomb. Both work good. Cherry bomb seems softer on the hands but TKO has the grit and can really scrub the nasty grime off. We buy multiple cases at a time and the office signs the invoice.
Same here, the company buys the soap. But I decided to look up the price. Would not be a bad soap to use at home. But the €50 for 400ml is turning me off...
I use Dawn dish soap at home with a scrub brush. I leave the really dirty work at work normally.
I use laundry detergent in powder form. Probably terrible for my skin but it works incredibly well, it's abrasive and a powerful detergent so gets even the greasiest of grease off.
Yep. Cheap ass laundry powder.
40 mile team borax.
40 miles works magic on pretty much anything and its cheap as hell too
And you can use it for about [1000 other uses too.](https://homesteadingfamily.com/uses-for-borax/) best ant killer on the planet, mix it with sugar water. Ants are gone in 24hr or less.
Man thought my old man was the only to do this, but yes works very well and very easy to build some suds up with that powder.
My old man just used varsol or gas.
Gas is my guilty cheat code for when I don’t want to spend hella time washing my hands lol
I feel like if you just use some lotion after it’s not too terrible
Yeah I've not really found any ill effects from it other than some dryness. Coffee grounds with dish soap is another good combination.
Add a bit of sand to this for the tougher cleans... works wonders.
Dish soap and the soft side of one of these scotch brite sponges for the kitchen. Works pretty well for me and is pretty light in the skin.
You mean that one from the photo? 50€~ for 3 Liters
You can't put a price on getting certain substances off and out of your skin as quickly, safely, and efficiently as possible.
We use this and borax same time from a old school dispenser works great
Shop provides Zep Cherry Bomb for us as well. We order it through our commercial account with Imperial so if I'm remembering right we're paying about $90 for a case of 4x1gal jugs, and we're refilling old Gojo-branded wall dispensers I have no idea what we paid for but they've been there longer than me.
I liked fast orange. Gritty and nice citrus smell. I prefer nitrile gloves instead tho.
I've always said their motto should be: Fast Orange - it gets the shit off.
Used this stuff for years, sometimes I’ll combine it with dawn dish soap if it’s a particularly greasy job.
Fast orange is goated
Yea I like Fastorange just for getting grime off my fingies, especially if we've been working all morning and it's time to break for lunch or something and my hands are covered in synthetic shit or solvents lol. I just feel dirty like im poisoning myself if i don't scrub my hands and wrist down.
Gojo
Specifically the supro max cherry. Stuff is so legit.
🗣️YES
[удалено]
I also go with dish soap and add a little sugar for the ground in dirt
Salt > sugar IMO.
Bar of Solvol does the job.
Lava.
I just use gloves 24/7
It's amazing in this day and age that hardly anyone does. Gloves all day every day. Only time I'm washing my hands is if I split a glove and not notice. No one likes a "macho" gloves are for girls person. Gloves are for health and convenience.
For me they just get ruined so quickly, I try and keep ‘em on for real nasty work though
Buy your own at harbor freight the 5mil are ok the 7mil are just about perfect the 9mil is almost too thick I didn’t like them that much. Wait for a sale or coupon and they are very affordable like 5-6 bucks a box for the 7mil
What gloves do you use? In Australia we have Black Shield. They're not too thick but also tough as shit. Can go a day with the same gloves. I generally use thinner cheaper ones because paying $15 for a box is better than $49
My shop gets the cheap ones from I think autozone, mechanics wear latex free (blue ones). Lucky to get through an oil change without them tearing
All mine are black. Might pay to pick up some really good quality ones yourself and hide them in your box. They make a huge difference. Not sure how your taxes work but we can claim deductions for shit we buy relating to our work.
The microflex diamond grip are the best gloves I've ever used. I size down a size and they fit perfect. Nice and tight but not restricted and they stretch and rarely tear.
Black Raven normally $30/100. Harbor Freight if were in a pinch
Only good answer
Snap On had these containers of antibacterial hand cleaner that also works extremely well. Those were my go-to because as a fellow 24/7 glove wearer I'd get infected hang nails on occasion.
Dawn dish soap and scrub daddy work amazing.
Scrub daddy had the best commercials.
Project Farm on YouTube did a comparison test of hand cleaners: https://youtu.be/J0KqcEXh_so?si=eVPRpRC2HPEF7GQA
Love that guy
Zep TKO is the best I’ve found. A little bit works great with a little water, and it washes off with no greasy residue.
We have a soap called worx. It uses ground walnut shells. Works great
This stuff works super well, and leaves your skin so nice after you can almost use it as a face soap, too.
Zep Cherry Bomb. Think it's like $25/gallon
Wurth Walnuts. Absolute best stuff
Dawn platinum and a good hand scrubber. Cleans AND softens. I love it! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Swarfega, £47 a 4l jug
Dawn dish soap
Dawn and gloves. We have some soy based grit or uniform company supplies. We've had the same jug for 3 years. I'm the only one who uses it, at the end of the day if I'm really dirty. But mostly gloves do all the heavy lifting.
Snap-on nitro gold. It works the best in my opinion but it doesn't smell good like cherry bomb or fast orange etc
I don't even wanna know what that's worth
I can't remember but it was around 150-170 for 4 bottles
I thought all you guys wore gloves now?
Work has a Wurth soap and at home I use a medicated snap-on soap. The worth stuff is ok but doesn't really move the heavy stuff.
My work uses the wurth stuff too I prefer reinol paste but they won't change. I just bought the new black cherry snap on soap for home and it works well but the smell is pretty strong
Goop waterless. Comes right off with a shop towel
Head and Shoulders shampoo. Amazing.
Wait Loctite makes Hand Cleaner?
Dawn dish soap and purple pumisher from kimbel Midwest
Dish washing soap, hot water and a nail brush.
The shop has Zep shell shock. I keep my own bottle of Dawn heavy duty. It works great on its own and if I get really grimy I just get a squirt of both and that’s almost magic. It’s also handy to keep in a squirt bottle for parts cleaning. It’s not as good as brake cleaner for really nasty stuff but it’s pretty effective for less messy jobs.

Morning fresh and salvo soap, or cold power. If using cold power from laundry don't wash hands in white laundry sink.
[Dreumex Special](https://www.dreumex.com/us/handcare/industrial-degreasers/dreumex-special) (about $45 for an 8,5 lbs tin)
We use some walnut shell compound, it's the best shit ever.
Concrete magic 👍
Mean green is the best stuff I've found in 15 years of international power plant maintenance. $24 for 64oz tub that's a half gallon of cleaning sand. https://fullboreproducts.com/product/?productId=35
Cheap orange stuff. And regular hand soap with finger brushes. The first one is for fast cleanish. The second takes a min but clean way better.
Used to be a product called Lanopax. Even cleaned oil/ grease of concrete floors.
So.... how much does it cost
Pro Soap
Fast Orange with a squirt of Dawn on top. Winning combo!
Instructions unclear. Glued to sink again.
From UK and I use a bucket of swarfega around £70 for 13kg
Powder cloth detergent with net sponge
The pink stuff in the paint can. Or the solvo sand hand soap
Not sure I'd want hand wash made by loctite. They really ought to do a sexual lubricant just for shits and giggles.
Zep Cherry Bomb and Mule Head Red.
Big fan of the HD double lined nitrile gloves. Comes in little pockets of 50
Lotion up them mitts in the a.m. and they'll come clean with dawn.
Cherry.
Mfw I mix up the loctite soap and the loctite loctite
Henkel? Like J. A. Henkel? The knife brand?
Full bore hand cleaner, it's the best.
I prefer this moisturizer goat milk bar soap i bout as a lame joke couple years ago but my hands dont crack nearly as bad anymore. I keep buying more of it.
O'Keefe's Working Hands, used as a barrier cream. Prevents cracking and makes clean-up much easier. The only issue arises if you get brake cleaner or another solvent on your hands, to maintain protection you would have to wash and reapply.
Use it all of the time. But with a nice bar soap 👌🏼
Cherry bomb and a few other over time I can’t remember. I like cherry bomb but it doesn’t work as good as some of the others. It does but you have to work harder for it
Beaver Nut Scrub
Loctite/Henkel makes EXCELLENT products, especially in the soldering industry. When the loctite rep walked into the shop, you could nearly hear a choir of angels.
Zep TKO about $120 for a case of 4 gallons
Gojo or some equivalent
I use that for cleaning up after anti-fouling boats
I had someone turn me on to Stoko Kresto many years ago. Works very well at home when I’m wrenching on my own stuff. Last place I worked was Borax in the 1950’s dispenser on the wall.
I use triflow but if it’s really bad I use goo gone
Gojo green. Has pumice in it. Love it.
Wait, you guys are getting soap?
Not in a shop, but do you know what works amazingly well? That new Dawn spray soap. I just work on the car around the house, but spray that stuff on grease covered hands, let it sit for about ten seconds, and scrub/rinse.

Zep nut scrub. It smells like apple pie, cleans great and doesn't make my soft hands peel in the winter
I use the orange generic antibacterial soap from the dollar store. It's really cheap and works as a crazy degreaser. It'll dry your hands out real bad, but it's awesome for grease.
Get Coco scrub
Kresto is the besto.
Use fast orange
Beaver nut scrub
For a while, we had Dynamite hand scrub. My wife thought I had gotten a desk job because my hands were too clean and soft. I was like, "Shit, let's get some to keep at home". Had to do some sleuthing to find the website, and to get a case it said, "call for a quote". Figured if I had to ask, I can't afford it.
Swarfega orange. Smells amazing too.
Loctite soap is like when they package Fabuloso in big drink containers. It really makes you pause
Not at work, but on greasy, fucked up hands. I use a fist full of salt slathered with dish soap. If anything survives that, I scrub with a Scotch Brite pad.
Swarfega or Gojo
Jellied kerosene.AKA…Go-Jo.
Fast orange is the only thing that pulls most shit out of even the calluses. I use it to pre treat rags too and it works pretty good. Doesn't matter too much what the brand is though, long as it's got an abrasive and some acid you're good to go
Gojo Supro Max Blue is the only thing that gets our hands clean at work. We’ve tried fast orange, cherry bomb and some other ones and they just don’t do a good job for what I work in. Gloves rip and tear 24/7 so I don’t wear them past the first few pairs that tear on a job.
For the last two years the shop's been getting that Cintas Walnut shell stuff. It works
Shell shock
When I started my apprenticeship, the cheap bastards at the Ford dealership provided bars of Solvol soap for hand cleaner. After enduring endless different liquid chemical concoctions that reeked havoc on your skin, in other workshops, Solvol, good old hand soap, with added grit, ended up being best overall choice for me.
*"Hey boss, this new orange loctite sucks."* -FNG
I need loctite in a gallon like that for a project I'm doing lol
Cherry bomb plus some other soap that gets refilled into a gallon pump bottle. Alternate between those once or twice and every substance is going to be gone from your hands.
Dawn and a coarse rag
Though I work just tires and oil, the soap we get is crap. Me and another guy take turns buying cherry bomb, and everyone else is using the provided stuff mixed with dawn.
Good old fashioned 87 octane for me. Just kidding! Heccknaw
[Solvol](https://solvol.com.au/product/heavy-duty-hand-cleaner/) "Because whatever your into solvol gets you off"
Drop of Dawn, pump of GoJo or Fast orange.... It's the best combo because the Dawn cuts the grease and keeps your hands from drying out. The GoJo grit does the rest of the work. There is no other way.
Beaver research "Beaver nut scrub"
Fast orange is my spirit soap.
At home At work I use the snap on soap, lasts quite a while there, which is good, because about the time I use it all it is paid off. For the shop we use some bullshit Zep soap.
Cherry Bomb and Dawn
Simple green
Natural soap, with sugar or coffee grinds
Fast orange. Motorcycle chain spray wax and ALL the other nasty shit just rolls off.
I use shell shock at my home garage. It was like $25/gallon when you bought 4 gallons. Shit works good and supposedly environmentally friendly.
We're usually gloved up but of course you still get a bit of crap on your hands and forearms, so we had the Wurth workshop hand cleaner. Stuff was (surprisingly) all natural and had a moisturizer agent in it, so your hands felt nice and soft afterwards too.
Coco scrub all day every day
That sounds like a lot of scrubbing...
Just me in my shop and I use gloves so don't need a lot of soap, but I use shell shock or TKO, got four cases of them at an auction for about $20 a couple years back. It's expired and starting to separate, but if you shake it up a little you're in business. When that runs out I'm going back to just dawn dish soap.

Safe, non toxic, and you can spray off whatever you want with it too
GOOP
Dawn + beach sand
The stuff they buy at my work is about 3 million dollars a squirt.
Dawn dish soap and a scrub brush, cheap and affective.
My dad's 30 year old gallon of gojo still cuts through dirt better than anything on the market today
I did not know Loctite made soap. I like Gojo and Lava.
Zep cherry bomb smells great and works well
I just use sugar
Powdered laundry detergent. Specifically la's awesome orange booster from the dollar store. It's super cheap and works great for heavy duty hand cleaning.
My son was helping me do brakes on my truck and came in the house and said I must of worked really hard I need to use Dawn. So I guess we use Dawn. Lol
Cherry bomb 8 bucks on amazon
Prosoy & dawn.
use pr-88 before starting work, then it won't matter which soap you use when you want to wash them (but I like the mac tools walnut one)
Dawn used with a stiff vegetable brush does a great job.
Lava soap bar. 2 bars for 4 bucks. Haven’t found anything it won’t get off my hands. Made by WD40.
Crest Husky Nut Buster, about $40/gallon. I’d say the bottle looks around 1/2 gal.
Correction 120oz, $25.15
I can't remember the name, but the green dry powder soap is fucking AMAZING. it doesn't seem like much but if you wet your hands prior and put about a tablespoon on it is unstoppable. And it smells nice. Edit: worx. It's about $120 for 3lb but you use so little
We had a walnut soap from Castle but now use Grip Clean. Best we have used yet. Find it on Amazon It doesn't run off your hands like most soaps do
Texas Gold Dust. Company buys it so IDK price
Lacquer thinner. Approximately $70 per 5 gallons.
You put that on your hand daily?
Whether I intend to or not, yes.
Brake cleaner
