I always have plenty of PlusGas to hand, in oil and spray forms - proper penetrating fluid that actually works. WD40 is good for making hoses shiny just before you flog the car - that's about it!

Keep your eye open at arco if you've got one local, you can quite often drop on a gallon of orange gritty for a tenner

My father-in -law's answer to most things is WD-40.......I don't let him near the cars
You need to teach him the "other" answer"!:
-If it doesn't move and it should: WD40@
-If it moves and it shouldn't: Duct Tape

i use washing-up liquid and soap powder they seem to react with each other and gets all the oily c**p off my hands and arms.
You know what I found I dislike about WD40 ..
When you've had the lid knocked off somehow and the can is slightly larger than those around it in the boot .. and something moves slightly above it.
You can hear the hissing, eventually smell it, but it's usually too damn late!!

I've never really got over the euphoria of seeing the new style can with its gorgeous folding straw :der:

It does but it limits what you can do. I wore them for a few jobs and it was great not having to scrub my hands but I much prefer working without them
It limits what you can do in which way?

Sometimes a slight scraping of the skin is acceptable and quite painless to enable the job to get done a little quicker or better but of you are wearing gloves you just know it's going to rip them, negating the whole point of wearing them. They have their uses but they aren't the be all and end all of keeping the muck off.
Imo.
No they aren't, but a lot better than nothing. Depends what you are doing i suppose. I take it you have never seen anyone with Dermatitis?
