I am not familiar with the product you are talking about, but here is a tip
I learned years ago. Before you even go out to work on your truck take some
dish washing liquid, with out any water, and rub it into your hands and
arms, wherever you think grease may get. It shouldn't take much, you just
want to rub a small amount in your skin to coat it. After the work is
complete and you get ready to clean up take some more dishwashing liquid and
wash your hands and arms with it using water. All the dirt and grease will
wash right off. I guess it puts like a coating in your skin, but it works
pretty good, at least for me. The one draw back, and it isn't a bad
problem, is that when it is real hot and you sweat sometimes your tools get
a little slickery :)

Subject: [oletrucks] Found a great new hand cleaner
Happy Welker, the old Master Mechanic at the mine, once said that real
mechanics never get their hands dirty. They steam the engine off first....
Guess that leaves me aut. But, by accident my wife found a great new hand
cleaner at Wal Mart that cuts grease and oil off skin almost like magic.
The stuff is called Ultra Joy Antibacterial Hand Soap and comes in a small
plastic squeeze bottle that sort of looks like one of their dish detergent
bottles. The stuff we have has a citrus smell.
I use it straight on my hands and arms, and rinse it off with luke warm
water. It cuts grease better than Lava and doesn't do any skin abrasion.
I have problems using the usual Lava or dry abrasive skin cleaners and am
not particularly fond of the GoJo type products.
I have not tried this stuff as a parts degreaser yet. Going to do that
next.
BTW, I have no connection with Wal Mart or Joy.
