Greasy hands? Use TOOTHPASTE
 

IF you havent got any Agent Orange or other mechanics cleaners I found a simple household item and you only need a Dab.

Toothpaste !! Probably not the Natural stuff either... Crest or Colgate have small amounts of Pumice in them which is similar to what they use in Agent Orange..

Greaseless Minty hands... Ahhhhhh :biggrin:

As strange as it sounds, Equate (you know the wal-mart generic brand) daily face wash, will get your hands clean in a pinch too, it works better than a lot of "real" hand cleaners out there.

That's not really the name, is it?

Agent Orange is the defoliant that was uses in Vietnam and causes cancer.


:oops:

He probably meant Orange Glow or something similar. Agent Orange will clean all the green off your hands, and probably all the skin too.

...don't forget the hair and organ loss from the post-cleaning radiation and chemotherapy.

I personally just use Dawn and a potato brush...(not then used for potatoes).

Goop is good too. Most of the hand cleaners have something (like kerosene) in them to dissolve oil and grease, besides the abrasives and soap to carry the oil/grease away. These will clean your clothes too, I don't think toothpaste will do that as the abrasives don't dissolve the oil/grease.
Just try to run into the bathroom to pick up a tube of toothpaste with those greasy hands (don't let your wife see you).

Yeah, I remember that "agent orange" stuff in England, about 20 years ago. I can't remember the real name, but I do remember that it was the first stuff that didn't smell like diesel, & take the top layer of skin off your hands. The generic name in England is "swarfega". You can get either the smooth stuff, which is also useful for getting the grease off your clothes, or the stuff with "grit" in, that is more abrasive on your hands.

there is GOJO orange hand cleaner and Fast Orange. Of course there are others but those are the two main brands that you see.

For the light works, it seems o.k. for me.
But some sweat issues which is less critical than OIL issues.. ha ha ha

I was going to suggest rubber gloves too. I don't like the sweat factor either, but the last time I changed my oil on the Ninja (way different than the GZ), the oil soaked down my Mechanix gloves. Now whenever I use them my hands are oily. :cuss:
