The thin latex gloves work well, but I would recommend using regular heavier
rubber gloves for really grimy jobs, at least in the early stages.
I've also found that if you coat your hands and forearms with hand lotion
before starting work it keeps grease and grime from settling into the pours
of you skin and makes cleaning up later much easier. If you leave a bit of
lotion buildup around and under your nails, grease can't get in but the
lotion washes out easily. I think years ago my doctor, who moto crossed with
his son, turned me on to that one.
Of course these suggestions are preventative in nature. After the fact, in
addition to the cleanup ideas, you might also use generous applications of
Pamela's preferred beverage, or one of your own choice. Internally, that is.
It may not get rid of the smell any faster, but you probably won't care. ;>)
