cgksheff Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 A good barrier cream before getting dirty won't hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheekychimp Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Theres a bike cleaner my dad uses, it gets oil straight off, it's pink and i think it's called something like muck off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glamrock Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 To get rid of the oil first use ordinary grease that will shift all the oil and then wash hands as normal using good hand cleaner..tricks of the trade!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
