    For anyone out there that has got fifth wheel grease on you knows how hard it is to get off. All you need to do is take some Coconut Oil put a little on your hand or wherever grease comes right off.

    Not all the time, I've been mixing a oil soap with Boraxo hand soap, it works the best.

    I use this soap comes in a big orange jug and has gritty stuff in it. Works well for all oils, fuel, grease, etc.

    Stop touching the fifth wheel.
    That should help.

    Fast orange hand cleaner is good. If you don't like the grit in that , go jo and goop hand cleaners work well too.

    Gloves and a 5th wheel j-hook works well.

    I prefer a box of industrial soap and a little water. It's actually a form of volcanic powder infused with a detergent.

    Go forth and be happy Mr Clean.

    Greaseless top plate is the best invention ever. But won’t work well if you’re dropping and hooking and everyone else uses grease on their 5th wheel.
