I once met an auto mechanic at a party.  His hands, knuckles 
and fingernails were immaculate.

When I asked how he did this he said he applied 
Vaseline Intensive Care Lotion liberally before diving into the grease.
He claimed his hands were much easier to clean with this pre-treatment;
further, degreasing solvents didn't cause his skin to crack.
