Anybody out there use gloves to detail in the winter? I was thinking of getting some scuba or some other type of waterproof glove so washing in the cold won't be so bad. Does anybody else do this or know why I shouldn't?
 
I looked into getting some scuba diving gloves last year. You can get them pretty cheap off ebay. The stores usually sold them for somewhere between $30 and $50 bucks. My problem with them was that they fit too tight. Kind of like Isotoner gloves. I've got really bad circulation in my fingers and I needed something a little looser than that. They would have worked out really well based on my research though. If you can find them then go for it. Like I said, eBay has em for really good deals.
 
Are scuba gloves the "best" for keeping your hands warm in the winter?



I plan on taking my car to wash bays in the late hours at night. I'll bring a sheepskin mitt and a chamois to dry. When I go during the winter, the temp will probably be around not more than -10 degrees celcius. (I don't dare go if its colder)



Scuba gloves fit for me? Or is there something better?
 
Can always go with the gloves duck hunters wear.



Their are scuba gloves made for freezing water. Might want to search arount the interweb and maybe send emails to some places that sell scrub stuff.

Great suggestion. I have acouple of different pair og Glacier Gloves. One pair I use for duck hunting and another I use for late and very early season fly-fishing. They work great. I believe there are even models available now with fleece lining.

What I like about the Glacier Glove is being able to flip back the thumb and forefinger.....if you fly-fish in cold weather try tying knots with any glove on!
 
I have some neoprene gloves that fit pretty tight and wear some smaller knit gloves underneath them. I got them from a customer who owns a pool service business. I will try to get hold of him to see where he gets them. They definitely make detailing in near freezing weather a lot more bearable, even though I don't get the same feel as bare skin.
 
Transform any rubber gloves into rubber gloves with insulating glove liners. They sell them at Eddie Bauer or other type outdoor gear places.
 
It's not cold here in California, so I don't wear gloves to protect my hands from the cold when I'm washing the car and truck. But, I do wear the disposable plastic ones when I'm applying "stuff" to the car by hand.:cool:
 
I emailed Glacier Glove and asked which product would be good for a detailer and this was his reply. Im also tring to find a pair of silk glove liners to put on underneath.



The 016 would be a good choice, thin, waterproof and great dexterity.

Thanks.
