Do not buy this product. Oh it'll make your hands nice and soft. But won't remove the dirt and grease. Which is odd because liquid purple power degreaser is good stuff. Stick with the gojo or orange stuff. I have never been less satisfied with a so called cleaning product in my life.

Lava soap and Dawn dishwashing liquid work well also.

I use a concoction of orange degreased and liquid laudry detergent. Then finnish up with lava and a good nail brush I picked up off amazon. A pretreat with WD40 and a rag before I come in from the shop helps alot.

A mixture of Dawn and GoJo (or equivalent) works well for me.

I have always used permatex hand cleaner with great results. Gojo with pumice is also a great product. Thanks for the heads up on a piss poor product.

Sugar/Salt + Dishsoap works good.. You just need a degreaser and something abrasive.

I would rather spend money on gloves rather then Hand cleaner. But if I do need to clean up my greasy hands I just use Lemon Dish soap. Works great every time!

We have made our own for some time and it's by far the best I have ever used. Just mixing sand with dawn dish soap.
