Best hand cleaner

Post by DonutHole »

Well topic says it all. I was a huge fan of the fast orange but this last jug we bought doesn't seem to do anything!! Sooo aggrevating.

Which is the best hand cleaner for:

Getting the stink of 5606 out?

Fast Orange separates.... you've got to shake it up every once in a while to get the grit in it.

Honestly, 15 years of maintenance and that's all I use. I've tried other stuff but keep going back to it. Fortunately I don't get my hands too dirty any more.

5606? That's practically grape juice. I'll take that over Jet-A or Skydrol. .

Joe's hand cleaner is the best I've found. Hands down kicks ass over fast orange. It can be used with or without water. I think you can get it from Acklands.

Gojo Natural Orange with pumice gets my vote for everyday use. Much easier on the hands than Fast Orange. Deals with 5606 easily, as well as most other unpleasant grimy hand situations without taking a layer of skin off or causing your cuticles to split down to the first knuckle. There are other hand cleaners that remove grease and oil more aggressively, but at a cost. Don't know of anything that works very well on Jet-A.
