Wash her dishes and by the time your done your hands will be sparkling clean your dishes will also be clean you might even get a little something extra from the wife.
I have a room just off the garage in this part of the country its called a mud room. I have a nice stainless steel double sink I wash engine parts in and wet sand parts in I do all kinds of things with the sink and it looks as good as new.
I'm even thinking old Rufus needs a good bath but I like my skin too much to even try it.
I think Bob freaked out when I did his dads airplane engine rebuild and washed the cylinders in the sink he said something to the effect that if he tried that at home is wife would cut off certain parts that were very important to him.
But doing her dishes should get you points and your hands clean.
But don't ever dry your hands on one of her dish towels I have scars from that in places that you can't see.
