As titled, having a lot of issues with my eczema at the minute so keeping my hands dry as much as possible is essential.

Washed the car a few weeks back and it made matters worse.


Anything i can buy that will keep my hands dry?

Rubber marigolds arent an option as i'm allergic to rubber and had to buy special gloves for my work as we get supplied Nitrile/Vitrile by the work.


Thanks in advance.

I've always had prescribed creams but am on a new course and Haelon tape which seems to be helping a good bit.

Is it just your hands or do you need to cover your forearms too? If it's the former then either Nitrile or vinyl gloves might do the job. The bonus of using vinyl gloves is they're a bit tougher than the nitrile ones (they're food preparation style gloves).

If it was going to cause me health issues I would pay someone to wash it.

The 4-in-1 waterproof wash mitt protects your paint and finishes from scratches while protecting your hands at the same time with a 100% water proof inside.

I'd rather spend >£10 on a mitt/alternative and do it myself than pay some £5/6 every time, then by the time i get home to polish & wax it it's dirty again.
