If you’re not already detailing with gloves, it’s time to start. A proper pair of gloves serves as a barrier protecting the skin against harsh chemicals, preventing dry, cracked hands or even chemical burns.
Not all gloves are created equal. Gloves designed for auto mechanic work may be tougher and more tear-resistant, but they’re likely not waterproof or chemical resistant.
Nitrile gloves are the go-to for most detailers. This material is both chemical and tear-resistant despite feeling thin, meaning these types of gloves are sturdy without sacrificing comfort.
Our Get-A-Grip Disposable Nitrile Gloves are top-of-the-line and extremely durable. Although these are disposable, you can usually take these off and put them back on multiple times throughout the day without tearing. They feature a textured diamond pattern to ensure better grip, and they’re also completely free of latex, making them safe and reliable for those with sensitivity.
Best Gloves for Winter Detailing
When detailing in the winter, staying warm and comfortable becomes a priority.
Nitrile gloves can be layered with insulated gloves for added warmth. However, be wary of gloves that are overly thick, as these can be more difficult to work with and create extra fatigue for your hands.
Overall, go with what feels the most comfortable for you. Using waterless washes and adjusting your detailing services during colder months can also help with keeping warm and making it easier to work with winter gloves.
Best Gloves for Boat Detailing
When working on boats, nitrile gloves like our Get-A-Grip Disposable Gloves are still the top choice. Just be mindful not to fully submerge your hands while wearing gloves unless you’re prepared for them to get soaked inside and out.
