Lava liquid is my preference
Blue Dawn dish soap. Tough on grime and gentle on the hands. Likely wife-approvable to boot.

I have always found best success with dish soap. "Natural" dish soaps don't work so well, so I suggest Dawn or one of the other name brand dish soaps.

I had best luck with Tide. Had been wrenching before work, and hand to have hands spotless (medical). Hands were cleaner after washing than before starting work on my bimmer. Probably not the most gentle thing for the skin, and I Now lmow what [censored] fire feels like when a wrench slipped and I scuffed my knuckles. For anything else I gust use soap or dish soap. Grime is off by the end of the day.
I like a brand called "Keiths hand cleaner". It's made by a guy in utah I believe. I mail order it. It's better than anything else I have ever tried.
Many of the big name hand cleaners eat my skin.Keiths does not

Blue Dawn dishsoap, used to keep a bottle in the shower when I worked in the pit at an oil change shop. Gojo was terrible on my skin and didn't take the oil off well at all.

Me too. Name brand dish soap works well.

I have tried everything over the years. Everything seems to dry my hands out. Then in the winter dry/cracked=painful. Snap-on Medicated Cleaner.
I remember working in shops years ago that had the Boraxo powdered soap. Worked pretty well. I keep Go Jo on hand, also Lava bar. I also keep some Boraxo granules I mix with any of them. I choose my mix based on what I'm trying to get off my hands.
The Boraxo granules can be used with Dawn foam to do a pretty good job on my hands. I use Go Jo on clothes as well. Works well on hands, not so much on clothes.
At work we use Permatex Orange hand cleaner with the pumice in it.

Dawn industrial stuff at work we get it in a drum. Darn good stuff. At home it's a "redneck GOJO" of Dawn ULTRA and some used coffee grounds.
Gojo or powdered Tide laundry detergent followed by dish washing soap and water.
I've been using a 2 step bit lately - Baby oil, then wash with Dr. Bronner's and a brush. Much easier on the skin in the winter.
Otherwise, boraxo or fast orange.

That's what I use, cleans my hands, guns and swab out the black powder barrel between shots. Fast Orange smooth without pumice

I use all of those, as well. Depending on what I did to get them dirty, various mixtures work best. But what I ALWAYS use is......My other hand!
