mechanix gloves are used for shooting guns. they don't belong anywhere near cars.

nitrile gloves are used in surgery, and have no purpose being under a car.

Hassle to keep changing nitrile.
I have 5 pairs of Mechanix and wash each pair after use.
i have around 10 pairs of mechanix gloves, and 15.5 pairs of box handling gloves, 12 pairs of paul menard gloves, and just picked up 5 pairs of firm grip trademaster thinsulate gloves. i wash them whenever i feel like it.

the thinsulate gloves are the only ones that actually keep most of the dirt and grime off my hands. the others always end up acting more as an 'air filter' to my hands, and i'll end up with a fine powder of whatever i was working on across my hands.

but they're slightly warm, and make me feel better.
