What I do is start the OL's washing machine on heavy duty cycle. Stick my pocket knife in the lid lock hole (so the machine will run with the lid open). Put your hands in it while the washer runs the cycle. It will clean all the grease from your finger nails. Beware: the spin cycle is a bitch! Go ahead and try it and let us know how it goes.

You could go down to Star Bucks and show all your metrosexual friends your dirty hands so they think your a "real biker".
