    G'day;  there are no hands with worse grimed in black than those of
    a motor mechanic (and my youngest son's between the ages of 2 and
    about 16.)  Garage mechanics usually have a drum of what they call
    'Goop' and before washing, take some of this oily looking mess and
    rub it well into their hands, then rinse them off in warm water then
    wash with soap.  They don't use very alkaline mixtures like ammonia
    or borax for this makes hands very dry and they soon develop painful
    cracks.   I personally use citrus smelling 'Mobil Hand Cleaner'
    which contains no solvents, which I buy from the local garage, and
    then afterwards use a small amount of standard hand cream  as my skin
    is very dry indeed.   I have to have a fatless diet. And may the
    marriage be as happy as my own for the last 56 years. -- Cheers for
    now,
