Permatex Fast Orange.....SMOOTH. I used to use the pumice but after a couple days it was equivalent to sand blasting my hands. Buy it by the case in quart pump containers.

Literally just minutes ago i bought an 8oz bottle of it in ebay for $10. Im gunna try it at work, if it works better then dawn im gunna try to get bossman to buy it. Im excited cus i love cherry anything!
I remember it being a great hand cleaner, if I remember correctly it has pumice as well. The smell on it is fantastic if you like cherry smell.

1-cherry bomb

2- VERY close second the lava pumice bars( if not better than cherry bomb) been awhile since I've used the cherry, as far as I remember it worked great. And that dang smell is great

3- fast orange(does a great job)

4- gojo

All with pumice of course.

my grandpa found a great set of hand wipes, can't remember the brand only had one tub. Green cap with a white container. Cleaned as good as some of the liquid cleaners, I was impressed.

He also had some John Deere pumice hand cleaner, smells decent, works amazing and it's at least a gallon jug with a pump nozzle. I've been using it for a long time and honestly it's up there at the top of my list as well.

I use the naphtha in my parts cleaner, before going in the house and finishing up with dish soap.

I had to go into Wally as much as I hated it. Must be libtard fux is all I can say. At any rate, they had 6 48oz bottles with hand pump Cherry Zep for $8.97. They only have 5 left now. The Wally closest to my house claimed to have 5 in inventory online.

For years, I'd start the day with an application of either a product called Pro-Tek Invisible Glove or Avon's Silicone Glove. Both products, when used properly, place an invisible barrier between your hands and dirt, grease, etc. Then it's a simple matter of washing your hands with a good hand cleaner (I used Permatex Fast Orange with Pumice,) and warm water, and it all washes away. However, after I started to age, I developed a skin sensitivity so now use 6-mil thick black nitrile gloves. Hope that helps..

I use the waterless hand cleaners. My shop does not have running water. I also use nitrile gloves most of the time. Mission Uniform sells some nice thick ones that last almost all day.

Fast orange at house or lava or dawn.

We have some weak ass pink soap at work. It gets your hands clean if they ain't too dirty. But, if you get grease and grime on them, it takes about 4 washes to get it.

I used to bring in my own lava bars but, these **** like to take **** for themselves around here. So I don't anymore.

This might sound crazy but I used to scoop some axle grease out of the tub and rub all over my hands. It dissolved the dirty grease and grime. Wipe with shop towels to remove then wash with regular soap. Old farmers trick. It actually works just seems weird.
Sliced my knuckle really bad once when working on a truck. Another old farmers trick, smeared it full of axle grease and it stopped the bleeding so I could finish the job. When I washed it off it didn't bleed much and healed fine, didn't even scar!
YMMV.

Use "Canola Oil" before you use detergent or hand soap !! Create's an emulsion with grease and dirt and
washes off easy. Old Farmer Hand cleaner, soft on the old skin also. "Cheap like Borsht"
