Fast Orange with pumice is also great if your wife leaves a pan out and the cooking oil polymerizes. It took out some stuff that just shrugged off acetone.

Explaine about the cooking oil please,I love panfried steak,cook outside on a gas burner using a cast iron pan,well I left the pan out for a couple days,When I went to clean all the blackend grease out it stained the hell out of my hands.
Nothing would remove it.

I use mostly Gojo or Lava now. Diesel feul works great too. It usually cleans what the Gojo and Lava doesn't.

Did you ever get your mouth washed out with it for swearing?....YUK
Never swore in front of my parents again after that

I am with Max on the Fast Orange. I prefer the sensitive skin formula as I hit it a dozen or more times a day being an auto tech. It does not dry skin out as the regular formula. The lava in the shower is first off to get the hands and arms, knees in the summertime with short pants! Gojo seems a bit diesel based for me, but melts the crud away IIRC. I am also a Simple Green nut for cleaning anything. I get it by the gallon and dilute 3:1 with water. Greased lightning also is a fine product for some things(3:1 also), but will stain others!

I use Snap Buy Snap Hand Cleaner from Canada at Well.ca - Free Shipping because it works, and it's what my dad used a long time ago. I love the way the lanolin and glycerin leave my hands well moisturized, I find most others either don't work well for me or dry out my hands after several uses.

LAVA is the soap of choice.

Some WD40 on a rag first then detergent & Scotchbrite pads.

Hmm, sounds like a mystery. Maybe a passing squid inked in your pan. Check the yard for tracks, they're quite distinctive.

Canola oil, if left in the pan for a few days, sets into a finish to rival enamel. But not to rival fast orange with pumice and a scotch pad.
