Yes, I went to the function and yes I got most all of the stuff off of my hands. Judicious and sometimes painful scrubbing with a nail brush and GOJO took 95% off. "Chassis Saver" is now in the trash and a new can of Rust Encapsulator is on the shelf. Cletis is right -- we should avoid using solvents to clean our skin, but desparate measures are sometimes needed in desparate situations. BTW, would you want to take communion on Sunday morning from a pastor with black gunk on his hands? LOL!?! I figured my congregations probably would not either.
