Grease? Kid's stuff! Try working on a DEEZLE. Your hands, clothes and
the neighborhood wind up coated with ingrained carbon from the sump
oil. No amount of detergent and scrubbing will get this crud out. I
FINALLY remembered to buy a plastic jerrycan and filled it with gas
to wash my hands in before using the detergent (actually I use Solvol
soap... better than detergents or any of the hand-cleaners such as
Swarfega)!
