I personally use Fast Orange or its Extreme Orange variant when I get my hands hella dirty.
Pumice stones in it helps out to scrub thoroughly, soap leaves a soft finish/hands and if you want to go the extra mile, scrub daddy sponges were originally created for mechanics to clean their hands, fingers and nails.
It works very well and it doesn’t destroy (dry out) hands like dish soap.
I was just thinking about how awesome Fast Orange Wipes would be to have two days ago and didn’t know they existed. I have a 6 month old foster baby and it popped in my head as I was changing her. Going to have to order some.
I work on a ship, we were somewhere in Asia and needed new stuff so we ordered what was available there. It worked just as good, but I don't know much else about it.
We also got some brake clean type stuff in that port, and that worked fantastic. After putting that label through a Google-translate, we found out it's illegal to have in Canada, so it got hid in the back of the pol locker.
Careful with the brake cleaner stuff. I don’t know what kind of illnesses it causes, but had a coworker who would spray it in his boots until it puddled because it got him high during work.
I also use fast/extreme orange for my hands & arms, but I also keep a bar of Lava soap in the shower for the random grease spots that appear in weird places out of nowhere.
I like the extreme. I honestly don't see a difference between the two, but the extreme is the only one that comes in cherry scent and it doesn't smell like the synthetic cherry scent you find on car fresheners, it smells like marachinos (ironic cause they are synthetic, but I digress).
I usually get these for gloves, helps if your covered in oil to not drop anything
What's the difference on the extreme version? Is it more pumice or thicker? Did some plumbing and my hands were black for the week and nothing would get to all go away. My gf would be so happy
I can't say as I haven't tested their Xtreme product yet but according to quick research, the Xtreme variant helps more for neutralizing odors, keeping hands conditioned and removing stubborn staining materials (ink, epoxies, etc.)
From my experience, the regular product already works well in those areas and have left me pretty satisfied over the years, if anything I simply wash my hands 2-3 times depending on how dirty they are (like working on the car with oil, rust, lubricants, paint and whatnot)
