At the risk of sounding quay. How do you clean your finger nails after car work? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

For those of us who actually work on our cars.

I recently started keeping a tooth brush in the shower with me just to clean the crap out from under my nails when Im showering after doing car work.

Just wondering what other methods you guys were using

/end work boredness.

Fingernail brush that comes on the bottle of gojo, and gojo.

Willdue · 05-15-2008, 06:39 PM

you homo

Munky · 05-15-2008, 06:43 PM

Chew on them till their clean.

DC2.2GSR · 05-15-2008, 06:43 PM

rubber gloves.

i'm weird about that crap, i won't work on anything without em. all day at work i have gloves on. there's not much worse than thinner and filler/primer/clear dust drying out your hands and getting under the fingernails!

but for when it does, GoJo brush works best for me.

TGilb2007 · 05-15-2008, 07:09 PM

Gojo. Its a bottle full of win and cleanliness.

enigma · 05-15-2008, 07:19 PM

Toothbrush and kreto hand cleaner.

cburwell · 05-15-2008, 07:21 PM

Toothbrush and some regular soap. That usually leaves some crap under the nails, so I use a scraper or just trim them.

Soon2bG60 · 05-15-2008, 07:31 PM

lol, Use a lead pencil like I do at school when I work on my bike.

K-Rex · 05-15-2008, 07:41 PM

Any auto parts store sells little finger nail brushes/scrubbers for like a buck. I had always seen them but never knew what they were for until my brother bought one.

poolmike · 05-16-2008, 06:27 AM

I just leave the shtuff there.

ScoobyNubieToo! · 05-16-2008, 06:31 AM

Best way to get your nails clean is to take your finger nails and dig them into a bar of soap before you start working on the car and don't wash the soap out from under your fingernails under after you're done wokring on the car.....most of the grease/oil will wash right off. Or ya could just wear vinyl gloves, like I do.

i like rice · 05-16-2008, 07:05 AM

I use a small flathead and scrape it out.

poolmike · 05-16-2008, 10:18 AM

Real men clean their nails with a Dremel.

F EVOZ · 05-16-2008, 10:27 AM

real men don't care about their nails lol

bmatyeah · 05-16-2008, 04:03 PM

never really cared that much i just use gojo. It smells awes0ome and it cleans absolutely everything!

OPZ · 05-16-2008, 06:03 PM

I wear gloves, but usually just hit my hands with some lava soap and whatever is left, stays there till shower time.

lagos · 05-16-2008, 06:31 PM

Gojo. They give you a brush for those hard to reach spots.

Yeah but real men that have professional jobs have to care about their nails.

Vypurr · 05-16-2008, 09:54 PM

I just have a thin wire brush or one of those brushes for cleaning vegetables. A little GOJO or TKO and my nails are ready for the prom!
