^ that slimey feeling is the fast from your hand being emulsified from the caustic agent in Tide

As for me...a good 60 grit will get rid of the junk

Wypalls by Kimberly Clark, they are waterless hand wipes, "towelets" come 50 or 100 in a pop up canister. You can get them from a HVACR supply house. They fell like they have grit in them, but there is no loose grit. Also are great for cleaning up tools when you are done. Also use 6 or 8 mill Nitrile gloves from Graigers. If you let the grease and solvents repeatedly soak into your hands you may get skin cancer later down the road.

A good nail brush...powdered Borax (with a little Ajax if needed)...soap up with just a little water and scrub. Powdered Tide works well...just put a little hand lotion on afterwards.

I found Permatex hand cleaner the other day, it's a lot like Gojo & Goop, but it seems to work very well. I use that, and then Lava soap later.

Fast Orange is pretty good too except that it leaves grit all over your hands that you need to wash off.

I may have to try picking up some Boraxo.

I use Kresto hand soap. It is made from walnut shell powder and is the best stuff I have used.

I use miscellaneous laundry detergent, dish soap, and hand cleaner along with a bucket of water. Immersing my hands in the bucket works better than running water over them because the strong soap solution has more time to work.

When the bucket gets too nasty to use, I empty it on fire ant mounds. The soap ensures they never come back to that spot.

WOD2025ACSA, Hand Cleaner, Water Activated (case of four 84 oz. bottles). That is the price for a case of four. It is the best hand cleaner I have used. Doesnt wash away when you add some water to it mid-cleaning.
