I was at a shop recently, hands got so grungy and used their soap dispenser. Usually when my hands get this dirty with old iron grease and gunk, it takes several minutes to clean them off but not this time. At home In my shop I have Lava bar soap, Gojo and Fast orange . The stuff in this shop saved me alot of time cleaning up and didnt beat up my hands. It was so good that I took a picture of the label. The stuff is called Prosoy industrial hand cleaner.
I looked it up, I only found it in Aramark dispensers or dispenser refills ...and it's expensive.
Anyone familiar with it and know if there is an equivalent ? Thanks much !

fast orange with pumice (little bits of something) works great for me.
I have fast orange here. The Prosoy is in a whole other league.
I found this link.
Doesn't seem terribly expensive if it works that well. Fast Orange is about $15 around me, this is $24. Although when you add shipping, it gets a bit much.

I use this 1st BEFORE I start to work. Especially when working on my bikes or cars.
It is available at nearly all auto parts stores.

Then when the work is done Orange Hand Cleaner with the grit and you would never know I'd ever touched anything greasy or dirty.
Thanks, that was the same link I was looking at but too expensive. I already have fast orange, Gojo and Lava here, and have tried others. When my hands get real grungy they all take about 5+ mins of scrubbing, repeat, scrubbing ...the Prosoy had me clean in less than a minute with no sign of dirt on my skin, and didn't beat up my hands. Although I do use nitrile gloves when i can, ya know how that goes. The aramark prosoy was just remarkable . I ended up getting 8.
5 liters of it for $45 on ebay ... The guy had a lot of 4 2125ml containers, all 4 for $75 , I offered $30 ...we went back and forth a few days ...lol..now i've got a little Too much !
I looked at the eBay listing. $45 sounds good .... but the $58.69 he was asking for shipping looked a bit outrageous!

Yeah that's high. When they do that, I ask them if it's actually that much to my specific zip code. I think it's ebay generated bc they usually reply with much lower shipping when it's high like that. That must be a different ebay guy. The guy i got it from, ll his other items were clothes, shoes, household stuff...looked like he prolly runs a thrift shop or cleans out houses. He wasn't a tool seller or industrial supply seller, that's why I tried the lowball . I paid 10 on the shipping. I told him slow usps was fine . Now I have 8 literes ...lol Some of my buddies will be getting the hook up from me !
I just use a dab of Dawn dishwashing liquid.

This you will likely not enjoy, a powdered product called Green Satin Glove is the best hand cleaner that I have used during the last 25 years, it would be a bit rough for hobbyists however.

The performance of the unit will be lower than that of the purchased one, but it will still bring benefits.
Different types of air purifiers differ in design. But in general, they have the same scheme. The unit usually includes the following parts:
Many devices are also equipped with a water tank. In this case, they also act as a humidifier.
The principle of operation of the device is that the fan drives the air from the room into the case. The flow passes through filters that collect medium-sized contaminants, dust microparticles, allergens and unpleasant odors. After that, the purified air is discharged back into the room through the holes in the walls of the housing.
Numerous videos about DIY air purifiers offer different lists of materials to build. In the simplest cases, the following consumables are usually required:
More powerful and complex air purifiers require additional materials to build. Specifically:
Before proceeding with the manufacture of an air purifier, it is necessary to study in detail the selected algorithm. For clarity, it is desirable to watch the corresponding videos.
Before building a homemade dust purifier, you need to assess the degree of contamination of the room. For an ordinary apartment, a low-power device is suitable; for a garage or workshop, it is better to design a maximum performance unit.
If you need to make an air purifier for a room with very dry air, it is better to choose an algorithm that allows you to additionally provide humidification.
One of the popular schemes is as follows:
Contaminants and allergens will settle in the water and on wet wipes when the cleaner is running. The air in the room will become fresher, and its humidity will also increase.
If you make a simple DIY fan and wet wipes cleaner, it will raise the humidity to 40-60%Attention! A simple do-it-yourself cleaner is recommended for a small room. In a spacious apartment, it will be almost useless.
If the apartment has high humidity, it is better to assemble an absorbent type air purifier.
It will not only remove some of the pollution from the air, but in general will make the microclimate more comfortable.
Do-it-yourself device assembly algorithm looks like this:
Absorbent should be properly heated in the oven before use to improve absorption. It is allowed to take silica gel instead of salt - it is more expensive, but it also absorbs moisture well.
Making a salt-based purifier will help prevent mold and fungus from growing on the walls of the room.
You can make your own air purifier for your home using charcoal. Such a unit has a complex design, but it is best to cope with unpleasant odors and allergens.
Assemble the device as follows:
At the edges, the material is fixed with aluminum tape. At the last stage of making an electrostatic air purifier with your own hands, it is necessary to fill the carbon layer between the two components. The procedure is carried out slowly, the material is added in small portions so that no voids appear inside. From time to time it is recommended to lightly tap the pipe on the floor.
For use in a do-it-yourself air purifier, it is recommended to take medium fraction coal 2.5-5.5 mm After the purifier is completely filled, you will need to put on an adapter on top with your own hands. The gap between it and the inner pipe is covered with sealant. When the insulating material dries, the adapter can be inserted into the opening of the duct fan or built directly into the supply ventilation of the apartment.
Attention! Charcoal must be passed through a sieve to remove fine dust before being poured into the air purifier.
Since the device has large dimensions, and it is not so easy to make it yourself, it is recommended to use the circuit if it is really necessary. A charcoal cleaner works well in a garage, as well as in a poorly ventilated kitchen and in an apartment that is often smoked.
You can make your own air purifier using different materials - silica gel, charcoal, ordinary salt. If the room is small, it is better to build a compact device with a computer fan. For a spacious room, you can make a full-fledged cleaner and build it into the hood.
In this article we will try to bring together all our previous tips for caring for the appearance of the car and give one simple guide with which you can wash and detail your car yourself.
Many professional detailing steps require a spacious and clean room with good ventilation, stable temperature and good lighting. But novice detailers may well try their hand at the yard of a private house or in an ordinary spacious garage.
How to wash a car at the wrong car wash
For clarity, let's divide the whole process into several stages - from simple to slightly less simple.
This stage should not cause difficulties for any car owner. You will need some free space, access to water and a small set of car cosmetics.
First you need to knock off large dirt with a high-pressure cleaner, then do a touchless wash with active foam and finally manually wash off static dirt with shampoo and a sponge. In general, this process is called the two-phase washing method:
5 quick ways to wash your car
After washing the body, do not forget to wash the wheels.
It is better to do this last, using a special brush for discs. So you will not carry dirt from the wheels, where there is always a lot more of it, throughout the car.
Three-layer sponge designed to create maximum lather with minimum shampoo consumption. You will need two pieces: one for the top and one for the bottom of the car.

Organic dirt is softened with solvents that act only on dirt, but do not damage the varnish. Then this softened dirt is carefully removed from the surface of the paintwork with a special sponge.
How to wash off the indelible
Metal chips are more difficult to remove because they cannot be dissolved with chemical compounds without harming the car's paintwork.
Therefore, such pollution is dealt with in a different way - with the help of special synthetic clay (detailers call it plasticine).
Types of dirt and how to deal with it
Non-abrasive cleaner for removing stubborn dirt. Removes what a regular car shampoo cannot handle.

Cleaning sponge made from thick acrylic cloth to remove insects, tar and bitumen. Does not contain abrasives and does not violate the integrity of protective coatings.

Plasticine should be softened in the hands and with a little pressure, walk it over the wetted surface of the body in places of possible contamination. When one side of the plasticine is completely dirty, it must be folded in half.
Dirty pieces should be torn off and thrown away.
This is what the plasticine looks like before and after cleaning inorganic contaminants:
This is done to give a well-cleaned car a shine and protect it from adhering to new dirt. In "home" conditions, it is easiest to use liquid protective agents for such purposes. These products are simply sprayed onto the surface of the car and rubbed evenly over the paintwork with microfiber.

5–10 minutes after application, the wax is evenly spread over the surface of the car, and the excess is removed with a microfiber towel. Be careful: cheap microfiber, and even more so ordinary rags, quickly become clogged and begin to leave greasy stains on the body, which is especially noticeable on dark cars.
The compound is applied in a straight line with overlapping gaps - circular application can lead to excess wax in some places, making further polishing difficult, especially during the summer months when the compound dries much faster.
In order for the hydrophobic composition to properly adhere to the glass and stay on them for as long as possible, the glass must be properly cleaned before applying it. Regular washing is not enough: even visually clean glass remains covered with a greasy film and mineral deposits - the so-called water stone.
Why you need anti-rain
For high-quality glass cleaning, Glaco produces special cleaners, such as Glaco Glass Compound:
Abrasive cleaner to prepare glass for anti-rain application. Allows you to deeply clean the surface of fat deposits, insect residues, tree resin and stubborn dirt.

The easiest and fastest way to do this is with the help of special car deodorants. They will help get rid of the smell of tobacco, sweat and mustiness in the cabin. But if a bag of fish leaks in the car on a hot day, only dry cleaning will save it.
The main thing about interior dry cleaning
Demonstration of the work of such deodorants:

At this stage, no special conditions are needed either - everything can be done in your garage or in your country house. But a wider range of auto cosmetics and additional tools will be required. Fortunately, manufacturers have done everything to make the process of using their formulations as simple and intuitive as possible.
You can simply clean the rims during a standard wash, but there is a problem - brake dust and scale, which cannot be removed with a simple car shampoo. For this, special products are used, which are applied for 2–3 minutes, spread over the entire surface of the discs and washed off.
How to clean your rims yourself

If the upholstery is fabric, small surface dirt can be easily removed with special non-aggressive products that quickly disappear. Separate places with deep contamination are cleaned with stain removers. When the fabric is too dirty, only dry cleaning will help.
In order not to lead to it, it is enough to vacuum the fabric in the upholstery more often, especially in summer, when it is dusty and the windows are open.
How to care for leather, textiles and plastics in car interiors
For leather interiors, it is best to buy a delicate product that gently cleanses and moisturizes the skin. If you apply it at least once a month, the skin will always have a fresh matte shine and remain soft and pleasant to the touch. It is important to remember that before applying conditioners, creams or any other skin care products, the oily film must first be removed from its surface. If this is not done, the product will not come into contact with the skin itself and will not be able to moisturize it.
Mousse cleaner gently removes light dirt and grease, restoring the leather's natural matt sheen. The composition includes tocopherol, which moisturizes the skin and slows down its aging and wear.

Proper care of the headlights is quite simple: before applying the cleaning compound, they must be thoroughly washed and dried, then apply a little of the product on the viscose cloth that comes with the kit, spread evenly over the yellowed areas and wait 2-3 minutes for the compound to react with the plastic. After that, with a slight pressure, the headlights must be wiped with a clean side of the napkin.
How to care for your headlights
The cleaner also comes with a protective compound that prevents the formation of yellow deposits.

In this step, we will apply complex combination compounds and protect those parts of the car that ordinary motorists rarely remember. Now, for a high-quality and predictable result, we need a fairly spacious and clean (not dusty) box with a stable temperature regime.
This is a combination of several protective coatings with different working properties, which are applied one on top of the other, like a layer cake or sandwich.
Typically, the bottom layer hides scratches and evens out the color, while the top layer gives hydrophobic properties and shine.
Color enriching polish.
Pigmented polish microparticles easily penetrate into the smallest cracks and completely mask light damage to the paintwork.

Water repellent protection.
Creates a durable protective layer on the body - water collects in spherical masses and immediately leaves the surface of the car.
Show in store
Be careful: the compositions for the "sandwich" can conflict, react with each other, do not "take root" on the body and come off at the first wash. Therefore, for the application of combined protective coatings, it is better to contact specialists. Well, or at least follow our recommendation on the choice of compositions - you should not experiment with this yourself.
Guide to protective coatings
Apply a hydrophobic coating to the rear-view mirrors When there are puddles around, not only the headlights and windows of the car, but also the rear-view mirrors suffer from haze and dirt sticking - especially in the autumn-winter season. Therefore, we recommend applying anti-rain to them too, so that all-round visibility does not deteriorate even in the strongest slush.
Spray-type water repellent coating for side mirrors. It does not allow water to linger on the mirrors even for a moment, and also prevents the formation of an ice crust on the glasses.
Show in store
Before applying this composition, thoroughly wash the mirrors from dirt and grease, and then dry them. Spray the product evenly so that there are no drips. Apply the product from a short distance and take your time. It is important that the entire surface of the mirror is covered with the composition, without gaps. Immediately after spraying, the surface of the mirror will become cloudy white - this is the process of polymerization of the agent on the surface.
After a few minutes, the mirror will return to transparency.
To fix the result for 2 hours after application, avoid getting moisture on the mirrors. In the future, try not to once again wipe or scratch the mirrors treated with anti-rain - this violates the integrity of the protective coating and it stops working effectively.
Video review of Glaco Mirror Coat Zero:
the child did not endure. Fortunately, manufacturers of modern auto cosmetics have figured out how to deal with this.
Special compounds create a hydrophobic layer on the surface, which prevents the absorption of soiling liquids. After applying protection, the fabric does not coarsen, but remains just as soft.
