At 62, looking at my hands you would never know I am a mechanic.

Most mechanics ruin their hands washing in scrubby unhealthy "hand cleaners" - kerosene or even gasoline. Most of these hand cleansers contain a high percentage of kerosene (I read labels) - yes I've used them, but rarely.

I've known mechanics where there hands were permanently stained, and partially crippled before the age of 30 because of their lack of attention to their hands, which, by the way - is the way they make their living.

I also used what is called a "barrier cream" to prevent the toxins, especially from used oil entering my pores.

And gloves whenever possible.

When I was working full-time - I would wash the grease/oil etc. off my hands many times in a work day.

43 years after I started in this trade - Me, and my hands, are happy I did so.

I can still play the piano beautifully - no stains on the keys.
