If it's underseal WD40 or paraffin gets it off your skin great & head & shoulders is the only shampoo I know that gets it out of your hair

Did you ask

WD40 will also shift the underseal off any of the paint work aswell

sprayed up behind my bumper & arches & didn't notice until the next day I had over spray on the back door & 1/4 panels

sprayed it with WD & rubbed it off with a rag

Take care using any solvents, especially cellulose thinners type.
What they do is dissolve the muck, it then goes into solution, which depending on the solvent can help it pass through the skin.

This can lead to dermatitis or worse can transfer all sorts of nasties into the blood stream, then it's free to attack your internal organs.
Or even your external ones

Ok, the odd bit now and again, we've all done it, but if this is your normal way of working, then think again.

Swarfega or similar products are better for the skin, but do require a lot of working in, before you wash off with water.
I use a scrubbing brush, but also a foam backed pan scourer, which I find works better.
I find constant washing with washing up liquid, dries the skin, and you end up with deep cracks in your skin.

Rubber gloves fall apart when in contact with waxoyl, and they grip too well when you are fitting nuts and bolts and get caught in the threads and rip.

Edit:- just found this about organic solvents, this will make you think again...
