detailing gloves-what do you use???

[supercharged]

What detailing gloves do most of you professional detailer/weekend warriors use? I'm talking about nitrile gloves. I was searching the web, and the only ones I found/liked so far (but haven't used yet) are called Gator Skin. What do you use, and where do you get them locally (Home Depot or other hardware stores)?

TIA.

I just pick up a box of nitrile gloves from Sam's Club. Tried the latex ones, but I like the non-latex ones better. Use them for clay bar, tire dressing, and engine cleaning.

I would recommend wearing a pair of latex cloves while detailing to protect your hands from the chemicals used. Besides road grime, tar and grease are very difficult to remove from underneath your fingernails. Outside of the garage your hands shouldn't look like you need lessons in personal grooming.

Thanks, but I'd rather stay with nitrile gloves, as they are more resistant to chemicals. I'll check out my local Sam's Club and Costco.

Harbor Freight has Nitrile gloves ...and you can usually find them on sale for ~$8 for a box of 100. They have a light textured surface and are a nice thickness.

YMMV

Spoken like someone that's spent to much time sniffiing their products. ;)

But seriously, this thread made me think about you... if I don't want to get the stuff on my hands, is it really a safe and healthy thing to inhale (or to bathe in;):eek:)?

Nitrile gloves. Buy the box at wal-mart in the pharmacy/medication section.

I can understand people in your typical dealership quality detail shop using gloves with the stuff they have to use but not once have I used gloves
Anything that requires me to use gloves, I wouldn't buy and use on vehicles anyway
