Nial Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 I've got a kit car and '93 mini and enjoy messing about in the garage with the radio on. With the mini being a mini no matter what you're working on your hands get very greasy/dirty. I've run out of barrier cream so was wondering what's best to get next. I was going to ask on one of the mini forums but reckon that as PW is the font of all knowledge I'd be better asking here. So, what's the best barrier cream you can get to protect your hands from oil and grease? Nial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hucky Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 I use Stokoderm universal barrier cream - got a tube from the last place I worked and its been good so far. Not the cheapest, but does the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nial Posted September 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 latex gloves Forgot to say I don't like working in gloves, I'm allergic to Latex but have some nitrile gloves I'll wear when it's going to be _very_ messy. Guess how I found out I'm allergic to Latex? :look: Nial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nial Posted September 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 :look: big tub of swarfega :look: Swarfega dries my hands to hell, during the winter I can get big cracks at the side of both thumb nails. This is bloody sore. I find fairy's the best for not drying them out but you do have to spend a bit of time with a nail brush scrubbing, decent barrier cream makes this a lot quicker. Nial.
