    Man - I’m sorry, but that’s about the dumbest video I’ve watched in a while.

    I wear black disposable gloves when I’m greasing or changing fluids, oil , diesel and - chemicals are bad for your system - and you just peel them off when it’s time to handle ‘clean things’ re-use them,

    Use a nail kit to keep things short and trim dead skin, wear gloves when you can - a good pumice scrub.

    And a simple short nail brush.

    Between’Mule wipes’ and disposable gloves, I can keep relatively clean working on the truck.

    I can't get the feel and dexterity with gloves. Just like a condom.

    Agreed, but sometimes if you’re dealing with hazmat for pleasure - you’ll get used to it.

    Beats the creams you have to buy to deal that’hands on feeling’

    Couple years ago I started using those disposable gloves myself. About $14 at the local harbor freight store. I get the X Large or XX Large or they rip trying to get my mule skinners in them.

    Was always taught to use automatic transmission fluid for the initial clean up on my hands, then use go Jo or equivalent to finish the job. Pocket knife to clean the grease out from under my fingernails and along the edge, and usually a good shower with head and shoulders and pretty much good to go.

    Been keeping those mule wipes in the side box as well, they work well when out on the road….
