detailing gloves-what do you use???

[SameGuy]

I've used the Venoms before and like them, but I find they are very expensive. I use gloves for a variety of activities in the garage and on the driveway, not just for handling caustics and acids; ten bucks for fifty gloves is about three times what I'm ready to pay, so I just buy the standard blue 5-mil gloves from Costco (a variety of suppliers).

The other problem with the Venoms is the non-standard box. It doesn't fit in my standard glove box holder, that looks like this (mine is black, not from HF):

The reason I like the black gloves is that they have a slight texture to them and it makes it easier to grip the buffer and clay bar etc. I have tried smooth gloves and I keep dropping things. Just my opinion.

[SameGuy]

That's valid. I'd say I drop the NanoSkin sponge once a session. Needless to say I'm glad I rarely use traditional clay any more hehehe.

At work I use the SAS Raven black nitrile gloves. They are solvent resistant. They stand up to laquer thinner really well as other panel prep chemicals. They make your hands sweat. My only complaint.

[SameGuy]

Yeah, none of the disposables breathe so that is normal. At work we are supplied any manner of disposable gloves whatever the local purchasing agent can order from the B2B site. We usually end up with awful powdered vinyl gloves. These seem to promote more sweat than nitrile, and then we leave fingerprints on everything because of the powder. Nasty. I now keep a box of the Costco blue nitrile gloves in my locker and go through one or two pair a night, a small investment in my own comfort.

I got the reusable nitrile gloves in a 12 pair pack from Costco.

I rarely pay full retail and I usually buy the best regardless of price. Most "expensive" things are cheaper in the long run and provide less headaches and peace of mind, which is priceless.

Amazon Prime is hard to beat.

Wow this thread is so old..RIP my friend.

sure as long as ther not caustic harsh chemicals then i dont see any harm. you wont see me smelling acid wheel cleaners. a/g chemicals are user freindly . un like the ones i used to use which were high volume caustic chemicals. those you dont want to be sniffing.

I forgot what brand I was looking for but picked up the Ravens. They are much thicker and lasted through a whole detail even with me picking at tar spots with my fingernail.

I usually use these blue nitrile gloves when I'm claying or cleaning really neglected wheels & tires. But recently I've found these black nitrile gloves. Says they're heavy duty + they're black which will allow me to look cooler while I'm detailing.. Because it's always nice to look cool while detailing right? j/k

99 cent store. I oughta go back and buy them all before they're sold out.
