Grease under Fingernails?
I have been working practically every day lately on my truck. The age old dilemma is what to do about the dirt and grease that get's under your fingernails. I use powdered cleanser, liquid detergent, MOJO, fingernail brushes. The only thing that seems to sorta work is the powdered cleanser and then scraping the stuff with something like a file.
Got any new methods that work? |

The only time my hands look clean is when I'm on vacation and don't open the hood on a car for a week. Then my hands almost start looking "normal" again to most people.
Be glad that you (hopefully) don't work on diesels as that really gets ones hands dirty and hardly washes out.

 I permanently ruined the bathroom in our old house.  Anyway, the only thing I can think of is scraping with a file... that's what I always did.

When I worked at Good guys all the car install guys used some Orange gunk to clean off all the oil from the installs. I think it was Orange clean or something.

I think I know what you are talking about. I used to use that, but I blanked out on the name. It is really good though.  |

I think Leon wins the prize. that appears to be the correct bottle that they used. I even took ink off my hand from a broken ball point pen with that stuff.
