Anyone who works on their own car...
^ nooo, not goo-gone. I personally use Fast Orange, it's like a gritty, white, orange-smelling cream.

I use the box of 3MIL.. holds up pretty well. I snag on the some things in the bay and it wont tear. Of course it will tear if you keep snaggin on things... But it will hold up pretty good, IMO

Small space = bare hands, oils etc = latex, general mech I have thin rubber cloth mix glove with very thin rubber but dont break like latex, for hot or jagged jobs I have a very thick rubber/cloth gloves.
Excessive maybe, but work in a suit and tie like industry and clean hands are good to have ;-)

I would use bare hands too.. but I hate it over the summer using latex. My hands gets so sweaty and gets all wet in there. lol... I also have that orange degreaser stuff and yes it works like wonder. But working on engine wise and often times car is hot burnt hand isn't cool... So would be nice to have something that protects you from the heat.
Protection wise ya know... cuts and bruises are getting old lol.

Yup, I usually use bare hands. Annoying when I get small scratches and cuts everywhere though.
When working with liquids, I use disposable nitrile gloves.
When working with dirty components (e.g. wheels, calipers), I use Mechanix gloves.

I got just the thing, works amazing.
It's called Invisible glove...it's a lotion you put on before you get dirty, here's a quote:
"It goes on like a hand lotion — just a bit greasier. It only makes your hands slippery if you put too much on. It works exactly like it says, though. Oil, grease, dirt, paint, solvents, and pretty much anything else just washes right off when you're done. No more greasy black fingernails and paint-stained hands."
