Do you mainly use your gloves when cleaning wheels/tires/wheel wells, then ditch them when washing the car? When do you find yourself using them the most?
 
The only time I don't use gloves is when I'm washing/claying the car. The rest of the time I have them on.
 
I use them most on just about everything other than washing the car. I like them because not only do they keep the chemicals off of my hands, they also keep the oil and sweat from getting on the surface I am working on and my towel.

I hate when I am buffing paint with a MF when my hands are sweaty and then flipping the towel to only find out that side is wet from the sweat on my hand.

I hate wearing them but do it out of necessity.
 
Except for the actual soap bucket washing (they fill up with water) I wear them pretty much the entire time.
 
If you're wearing a pair for cleaning dirty areas(wheels, etc..), will you switch to a new pair when moving to QD? This would be on the same car.

I do. I don't save them either. I hate trying to turn them right side out. It just takes too long.
 
I would also buy some latex gloves from Sam'sclub or Costco. They are like 10 bucks for 500 I think. I only only use nitrite gloves for the heavier chemicals. And switch to light latex gloves for other stuff.

I agree. Where can I find powder free gloves that are good, yet not toooo expensive? PM me if you'd like.

That's a good point, Gary. :props:
 
I wear mine all the time while detailing except as others have said while claying... That way i don't leave any smudges anywhere... Also I change glove sets when moving from interior to wheels/tires/engine and from that to wash/wax/etc... The average is 3 pairs per vehicle...
 
I always wear them when I'm doing interiors, wheels/tires, and when I'm claying. The clay always seems to stick to my hands so having the gloves on works well.

I usually use 2-3 pairs per car. I find that when I'm doing interiors especially when I'm reaching under seats etc, they tend to rip on me. I can't wear the latex gloves due to being allergic, so the nitrile gloves work great.

I haven't clayed while wearing gloves because I go over it with my hand to see if I got everything. So does wearing gloves while claying be less affective because you can't really feel the surface of the car?

I can certainly still feel the contaminants with the gloves on. It's similar to the sandwich baggie test that some people do or recommend.
 
I use and switch nitrile gloves a lot. I use them for any time I will be touching a chemical other than car wash or clay, or QD, or Spray wax. For tires and trim they come in very handy. I would consider using latex for some tasks but the ones I use to use tore so easy! Does anybody have a line on soemthing that is cheaper and just as high quality? Previously I did an amazon search and found I was best off ordering my Nitrile gloves from AG. AG=same or better price and of course customer service, quality of gloves, etc. are known.
 
I wear them constantly. Interior, exterior, washing, etc. I don't wear them while claying because I actually like how the clay sticks to my hands. It makes it more difficult to drop the clay and easier to keep it in contact with the panel.

They sell nitrile gloves at Walmart in the pharmacy department. I think they're $5 for a box of 50.
 
Anyone use the blue nitrile gloves that are sold at the big box stores and autozone etc? I have seen them for cheaper than the black one but they don't feel as heavy duty as the ones I have.
 
The one we use at dealership are REAL heavy duty. They are blue, but I don't know where they get theirs.
 
I wear them for everything except for washing...

Claying and beyond I look like this.

Other uses for Nitrile Gloves.

Last Saturday I was doing some electrical work and while stripping off the outer casing I sliced two fingers pretty good. Blood was flowing everywhere and I didn't want to go in the house or to the hospital because I wanted to finish this work....here's where the gloves come in!!

I dashed to the shed and grabbed a glove. I wiped as mush blood from my left hand as possible then slipped a new glove on. This worked out very well! It kept the blood contained and allowed me to finish the work!

The downside here was when my wife got home and found a bloody towel in the shed and I was still working away!!

Sometimes wives have no sense of humor!!:dunno:
