    Makes sense.

    Yeah nah. Try just washing your hands in petrol or turps and then rinsing them clean under the tap. Not the same at all.

    That's cause you do it wrong. After the petrol wash, light your hands on fire, burn off the excess petrol, then rinse the soot off.

    Old thread I know but I use Swafega hand cleaning wipes to clean the bike wheels and swingarm. Cleans up the mess from the oiler nicely

    I have a gas axe and a welder! What do you mean "it won't fit"?

    Used to be a product out there called 'Big Wipes', I think? Hand cleaning wipes along the same lines. and yes they were epic for cleaning wheels and swingarm but were really good value. Hadn't seen Swarfega wipes before.

    Call me a ghey pouf if you want but I use latex gloves if i know I'm going to be getting my hands extra messy. Mucking around with the bike, painting, even gardening I'll pop on one or two as required. ($12 or $13 for a box of 100 from Bunnings)
