Sounds like someone uses the same cleaner I do. And it also works great on cleaning greasy parts as long as you wash it off well afterward then paint it or lube it up. Growing up on the farm we just used to go to the gas barrel and use that to wash our hands after getting all greased up. It worked great, however it is expensive, really dries the skin, and probably is not too good for you...

I have a fridge, microwave, and satellite radio, too....just not coffee pot on the service truck.

If I could plumb a hot water heater & sink into one of the bin compartments I'd be set...

I use Gain laundry detergent. HAHA, I tell all my buddys about how well it works and nobody believes me. At least now I know I am not alone.

That's funny. In Germany we love to use Fast Orange, made by Permatex or Loctite 7855 Hand Cleaner. everything else is so environmental friendly, but your hands are dirty forever...

I use the Canadian Tire version of Fast Orange or Gojo, whatever it is, with the pumice in it. It actually works better than laundry detergent and dishwasher soap I find. If I get crap on my pants, it will take it out better than either of the other two, and it instantly gets rid of oils, and gunk that stains. That stuff is worth its weight in gold.

you wear a nice little apron with that too?

Actually, the fast orange stuff has aloe vera in it as well, so it moisturises the skin. The ladies will never know you've been working in a shop all day
