hand cleaner to remove aluminum

Goldie · 05-26-2008, 01:21 PM

After having let my UIM project sit since last august or so, I finally got it back out an finished sanding & started to polish it yesterday (hence updated banner with crappy camera phone pix). Now, I have some seriously discolored hands that typical mechanic kinda handsoap will not remove.

Any suggestions on removing aluminum stains from skin/fingernails?

try some shampoo.

Smells funky, but gasoline?

Hi Goldie.

A multi-purpose industrial strength hand cleaner called "GOOP". It comes in a cream form in a tub type container (similar to but larger than what a paste wax comes in).

Works great.

Good luck.

you can use one of those facial scrubs that has the sandy gritty stuff in it. itll peel some of the skin off.

time is the best cleaner though

go to walmart and get aquafina sea salt scrub. Works great. It also has natural oils that will make your skin soft and smooth. ... so I hear.

think time is exactly it

I totally soaked them in lotion & vit E last night and was able to get most of it off this morning.
