You cant put lotion on your hands and then put your hands in the tank. You'll get a sheen on the water at the surface.

Lotion is fine as long as it doesn't end up in the tank.

I know the feeling lol. I use the soap from Zep. It's called cherry bomb. Works like a charm, but still doesn't get rid of the oil/grease/dirt under the nails and in the crevices in the skin. All part of the job lol

Yes it is massimo. No matter what I use to wash my hands I still have gunk under my nails and in the crevices of my hands. But working on cars is one of the things I enjoy doing.

You guys working on cars and with grease/oil should probably invest in gloves to wear in tank.
