    In a lot of the videos I see the guys wearing plastic gloves. After an afternoon of doing my wife’s car and my 2016 Tundra, my hands are dried out all to hell. Since I’m an older guy, I need to take better care of my hands now than I did in my wayward youth. I did a search but didn’t come up with anything, but that could be my lack of search skills
    Any suggestions on which gloves are best and hold up to the chemicals we use?

    Not sure at this point.
    Any nitrile gloves should do. Visit your local HF store to pick up a box.

    Wax and clay bar in general makes your hand feel all weird at the end of the day.

    I honestly think you shouldn't worry about best. just find something easily available to you that is chemical resistant. Anything too good (thick) starts becoming annoying to use I say, but too thin tears too easily. I'd just start with a box of something from your local auto parts store. Some brands run larger some smaller. I'm a fan of readily available.

    I like to use grease monkey nitrile gloves. Think either the 4mm or 6mm ones. I find 6mm last a bit longer without getting a hole.

    I’ve not used anything other than nitrile gloves on occasion, and I really just use those when I’m dealing with something harsh like Iron-X.

    Grease monkey to go with the monkey that lives in my head. I tried some gloves we had on the job site and they did fine, may even get another wash out of them (if I don’t find some dried Cerakote on them)
